Thank your Ulla and Katharina for hosting us. Below are my two cents. The apartment looks bigger from the pics. And we made a mistake of not asking on which floor it is and if they have lift. We have a small child and going up and down everyday from 4th floor is really 'great' exercise that is not recommended for people like me. (Mother who needs to buy lots of glossaries for the household and carry my child up all by myself). The utensils at the apartment are a little bit old, non of the knife is shape enough for any cutting. But if u don't need to cook, then it wouldn't be a problem for you. The shower is tricky. We must be extremely careful in order not to splash any water out - another tricky skills that we learned. The bed is very comfortable, my husband has his best night sleep in berlin on the bed.
