Rita's place is great, have everything you need for stay in Berlin (maybe an iron will be good to have to, we didn't find one). Location is OK (good connection by public transport, there is shop 20m from apartment where you can by drinks and turkish kebab and several big shops across street for food). Neighboorhood is really quiet. Only beds are really soft ( for someone that is good for someone not). Rita welcome us, show us the place and conversation with her was nice ( respond in hours ). Connection from Berlin airport is ok but takes 60-80min. If you want nice place for base to explore Berlin place is great, if you want place to visit nightlife maybe is better to find one closest to Mitte area.
