Easy is a great host and, judging by his first rental on airbnb, he is a wonderful addition to the airbnb community. Communication with Easy was fast, clear and helpful. The apartment is exactly as described and was spotless. The photographs show it accurately. The kitchen is well equipped with a full-size oven, coffee machine and fridge (there were also spices and a few bits and pieces) and the bathroom had a mass of towels and high-end shower gel and moisturiser. The apartment has great proportions, good heating in winter, and is a restful space in a great area. There's cable TV, but I didn't use that.

The flat is on the first floor, above a small art gallery. The building is solidly built, and I didn't hear the neighbours. It's over the road from the Adass Yisroel synagogue, which has a lovely cafe, and is a few minutes walk from Kaiser Soze, a cool restaurant, and from Oranienburger Straße S-Bahn station. The surrounding area is hip, and has modestly gentrified over the last decades. There's a huge amount to do, but it's not noisy (though I heard a tram or train sometimes).

Internet access with the USB broadband stick worked well, but of course it's not wifi so you can't run more than one device from it, and there's no support for devices without USB sockets, like phones or most tablets. I guess that, as he gets more business from Airbnb, he'll probably add wifi.

I would be very happy to return, and can totally recommend Easy as a host.
