We are travel lovers who went cycling for 2 years and moved to Berlin last year. Mark is English, Katja is a local. We live near Ostkreuz train station in a quiet area, not the trendiest part of town, but very well connected for everything. We can only offer a sofa-bed in our living/kitchen area, so privacy is quite limited! We go to bed around 11 and get up at 7 (or 9 at the weekend). We love to spend time with guests in the evening or at the weekend.
