Franz was a great host. Our flight was delayed and we did not get to his place until 11pm, but this did not seem to phase Franz, who welcomed us warmly and who also pointed out the essentials, including the automated coffee machine, for which he also provided the fresh coffee. The apartment is spacious, and well represented in the pictures. Designed by an architect to be essentially an open space, thick curtains rather than doors separate the different rooms. There are other somewhat quirky aspects to the apartment, such as the large overhead shower. Important for us - our double bed was large and very comfortable. The apartment is generally well provisioned. The apartment building is also quiet, as is the neighborhood, and the apartment is close to supermarkets, restaurants, and public transport, and thus easily accessible to other areas of Berlin, including the airport.
