Birgit and her place were very welcoming! I stayed here for 3 months over a summer and loved it. Her whole family (whenever they visited) were so nice and made the flat feel more like a home away from home! The place was always clean and has all the amenities you could need to live in. The location is also wonderful, on a nice street near transportation, restaurants, bake shops, cafes, and grocery stores. Birgit was a great host and helped me out whenever I had a question or needed directions or suggestions for something to do or see in Berlin. Overall, such a wonderful experience in Berlin and staying with Birgit in Kreuzberg!
