I unfortunately fell ill with food poisoning prior to arriving in Berlin so the first half of my stay did not pan out as I had hoped. Food poisoning is the lat thing anyone wants to experience while on vacation but I cannot thank Penelope enough for her hospitality - she is an exceptional host. She was so kind in helping to direct me to her preferred pharmacist, the local market where I could get cracker and bananas, as well as a doctor in the neighborhood to help aid me back to health. While I unfortunately did not get to see as much of the city as planned, I can say that the location is wonderful. Neukölln is a great neighborhood with a ton of great restaurants, bars and night clubs and the transit options are super convenient to get anywhere you need in the city. The flat itself is spotless, well designed and very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying at any of Penelope's listings.
