Brigitte’s place is exactly the kind we prefer: a private room with local residents, and right in our price range. With that said… Brigitte’s is probably one of the nicest places we have ever stayed over six countries. Newer building, nice furnishings (including adequate storage), good wifi; one and a half bathrooms so we were never waiting “our turn” to use the facilities, very clean and lots of hot water and pressure. We also had access to her beautiful, efficient and very well-equipped kitchen; and to the living and dining room. Brigitte provided coffee, and a full shelf in her refrigerator for us to store food. As others have said, it is a ways to the city center by subway but we didn’t mind that. It was more valuable to us that her apartment is about 150 meters from the U-bahn exit with a very nice grocery store on the way. Brigitte herself is a very sweet and kind lady. All communications were quick, clear and helpful. Could not recommend this place any higher if your criteria are similar to ours.
