The size and grandeur of Rochus’ villa was very impressive. He was a gracious host and everything was very comfortable. We had a 1/2 bath to ourselves and shared the main bathroom and living area with the rest of the house. Unfortunately, we were there in winter and could not enjoy the lovely patio area. An easy 10 minute walk to the train station and 30 minutes later we were at the Brandenburg Gate. We have visited Berlin before but staying with Rochus in his home gave us a much richer experience than simply arriving by train and staying downtown.
