A tranquil oasis in funky Neukolln.
The flat is simple and clean. The street can get lively but Virginie’s little courtyard flat is very quiet. The ("crawl in") bed is very comfortable (but I’m glad I brought my own pillow) and the shower is beyond wonderful. The kitchenette is fine for snacks and simple meals, but the neighborhood is teeming with good, inexpensive restaurants of every ethnicity- maybe the best neighborhood in Berlin for simple food. The world-class pizza at Mater, less than minute away, is not to be missed.
Virginie is a friendly and conscientious host. The only reason I ever needed to contact her was to ask if I could stay longer :)
There is no “free parking on premises” but the free street parking was safe and a space is not so hard to find, even for my camper van.
Note the relatively late check-in time and the early check out time, although Virginie offered to let me stay and extra hour.
Highly recommended!
