Kalma’s place is great! She is super responsive and helpful with check in (and beyond!).
The apartment is in a wonderful location in the neighborhood, easy to reach public transit for activities all around Berlin, or it’s a great home base if you want to just explore Kreuzberg. Highly recommend breakfast or at least coffee and a croissant at A.Horn just down the street before you start your day(s).
My only complaint (which I shared with Kalma privately in more detail so that she can address them specifically) were a few areas of the apartment that I felt could have been cleaner. This didn’t deter me from giving the overall stay a full 5 stars, though! By no means was it overly bothersome - its just worth mentioning that if you are super super particular about things being sparkly clean, this may not be the most comfortable place for you.
I also want to echo what some other recent guests have mentioned so that it doesn’t surprise anyone - she gave us a heads up that the stairwell is under construction. Since it’s getting cooler outside, some of the windows are exposed so it’s quite chilly in the stairwell! But it was obvious the construction folks were working hard every day so it’s a work in progress. The construction did not wake us up or anything either, as the bedroom is far from that main stairwell.
A few reviews mentioned that it’s hard to sleep in because of the sunlight - Kalma has added curtains so this is no longer an issue! But I actually recommend having one or both open so that you can see the beautiful view in the morning sun :)
Thank you Kalma for a great stay! Highly recommend!
