Babett's home was welcoming and extremely clean!
The location is terrific as it is placed between two U-bahn stops on the U6 line: Hallesches tor and Kochstrase (closest to CheckPoint Charile).
There is a Rossman (drug store like), EDEKA (grocery) and multiple restaurants very near the home.
We ate at Delhi 6 (Indian) twice enjoying all their food but especially the hot mint and lemon tea & the Mango soup. The waiters were super helpful and friendly!
Of note: bring your own shampoo, conditioner and a bar of soap as these items are not provided.
The kitchen is well equipped to cook a nice meal. We did have to google how to use an Induction range but it was fun making pasta Carbonara on a cold rainy winter night in Berlin.
We purchased and left a corkscrew for all who follow as that was not available. Having the stores just a few steps away was very convenient!
We enjoyed our time at Babett's home. It was very easy to feel like a local. The building and community was very quiet except for the spectacular New Year's celebration as the whole city sounded like one HUGE firework!!
Check-in was a breeze. Communication with Babett and her team was easy and timely.
If you want to visit the Reichstag remember you need a reservation best done in advance and online. (we learned - although too late- you can ask at the Reichstag check-in counter for a "Walk-Up" reservation if it is available. We actually had one reservation time appear on the internet site for each day we were there but by the time we entered our information the slot was gone.)
