Where do I even begin with this review? Let me give you some quick backstory — My boyfriend and I (both 25) began planning our trip to relocate from the United States to Berlin to attain our masters degrees back in April of 2022 and were understandably quite nervous about the big move. We searched and searched for a place that felt right, but we weren’t just looking for some ‘average Joe’ Airbnb, we wanted something exceptional!! Needless to say, when we discovered Thor's flat and his precious kitty Perejil, we were sold instantly.
Post-booking, Thor was highly organized and prompt in all communication; providing us with arrival instructions, commute details, upcoming deals on metro tickets, a wonderful recommendation list for things to do & eat around the city, and even offered to stock the fridge for us!
Upon arrival, Thor greeted us with warm hugs and fresh coffee/tea/beer depending on what we fancied. :) He took us on a mini Thor-Tour of the surrounding neighborhood, pointing out all necessary metro stops, groceries, and wonderful restaurants in the area (there are LOADS) and made us feel right at home! Throughout our stay, he kept us up to date on cool events happening around Berlin and even cooked us some of his native Norwegian dishes, which were freaking delicious!! We stayed for an entire month and were so sad to leave… so much so that we are literally coming back to stay again this coming winter!
I literally could go on and on, but Thor was absolutely — singlehandedly — the greatest host we ever could have asked for. My mother being an Airbnb Superhost herself, I understand what it means to go above and beyond for guests and Thor really exceeded my expectations in every way. We feel so lucky to have found him — he was the rock we needed with all the chaos of internationally relocating. Thor is no longer just our Airbnb host, he is family! Book before you miss him. You won’t regret it!
General things about the apartment worth noting: Perejil is the cutest most needy little grandpa kitty ever and you will immediately love him, the space is much bigger than I actually anticipated, you have a fully functioning dishwasher/washing machine/XL Fridge which can be hard to come by in Berlin, the bedroom offers a nice sized wardrobe and dresser for clothing storage, kitchen is fully stocked with literally everything you would need, and bedroom window can be transitioned to a blackout curtain for late night/early morning hangovers. :)
