Katherina was not at her home while we were staying, she set up a friend to be our contact while we were there. The location is very pleasant, on a quiet street in the suburbs of Berlin, about a 1/2 hour from the city centre on the train and a 25 minute walk from the train station. The apartment, once you figure out how to enter the apartment, is nice as well. A comfortable size for our weekend.

However, there were some problems with our experience. The door takes some fiddling to get into, which was not explained to us. We got to the apartment very late and tried opening the door for a solid half an hour before calling the contact. After calling a couple times the contact picked up and we were able to figure out the door. There is no internet as advertised, and the heat is slow to start, which is problematic for a basement apartment with stone tile flooring.

Overall, it's an okay place. Just with some quirks and less amenities than the listing advertises. It's a little far from things, too, if one is looking for a weekend in Berlin. Worth checking out if you have more time to spread things out.
