Iljana was the perfect host, the room was clean, presentable and a brilliant alternative to a hotel or hostel. Iljana herself was very welcoming and responded to both mine and my sisters queries quickly. On arrival she was there to greet us which was lovely, she helped us with directions to the centre and offered small shampoos and conditioners to use (when backpacking is very helpful). With a little help from google maps we found a route to the city centre that worked best for us (there are many options). We felt safe knowing that if anything went wrong a taxi would be only around €30-€35. The house is outside of Berlin but has the benefit of being quiet and in a pleasant area. No noise from neighbours and a very clean home. Would 100% stay again. Thank you Iljana!
