The house was just like the picture. Gerd was away but he had his friend come and let us in. He had a full kitchen even stock with pot, pans, plates etc. there were 6 of us and we all slept comfortable. We weren't too far from the Berlin Wall Memorial and restaurants! This was my first trip to Berlin and this will be the only place I will ever stay SERIOUSLY. The house was super clean and the neighborhood quite and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
