I stayed at Jon's apartment for 8 days, the pictures are accurate - there are fewer plants on the balcony now. Jon met me on my day of arrival at the time I had suggested and even helped me carry my luggage. His place was clean and he went over everything with me including setting up my wifi. The place has a great location, grocery store around the corner, subway station just across the street, many great little eateries on the same street or just around the corner. Easy walking distance to the Reichstagsgebaeude - maybe 15 min. Would stay there again in a heart beat.
