The home is in an excellent location close to the Ku'damm shopping area and on a quiet residential street. Gerlinde was a kind host who greeted us in person, showed us around, and helped us operate the washing machine. The room was pretty minimal but functional, located on the other side of the flat from Gerlinde and separated by a large kitchen area. There was a long-term tenant staying in the room next door, but we never ran into her. The wifi was spotty and unfortunately there was construction noise nearby that started early in the morning. As others mentioned, be prepared for stairs as it's on the 5th floor with no elevator.
