If I could convincingly write this as if it were liner notes on a great, vintage jazz LP, that is what Ute's space deserves.
The place is five star across the board. It is larger, nicer, cleaner and more stylish than the photos show. It's in a great location, walking distance from restaurants and cafes, half a block from an U-bahn station and grocery stores. It sits on a wide, quiet boulevard with a lovely tree-filled median.
And it has character. Not in the sense of "character" that one might use to make apologies for quirks and deficiencies, but the kind of character that reveals itself to be more interesting and more pleasing at each turn...like a great jazz album. It's a space filled with great personal touches that in no way interfere with its livability.
I can't imagine a better place to stay in Berlin; this is one of the best AirBnB stays we have had.
