My wife and I were looking for something a bit on the alternative side and the neighborhood has a lot to offer as well as a nearby U-Bahn stop. The apartment itself was very nice - I especially loved the large ceilings and desk provided. The internet is super fast and the room comes with it's own entrance around the back. As mentioned in the description, it does share a kitchen with other roommates and is attached by a remodeled wall that seems to carry sound fairly well which ultimately became a issue for the other roommates. Additionally, there were a couple errors in the description when we booked, such as missing amenities like the dryer, hot tub and elevator access. After traveling for the past couple months and hiking up 5 flights of stairs at nearly every stop, I had promised my wife an elevator for our long stay in Berlin so the lack of elevator access became a larger issue for us, but Miguel was very nice about talking it through with us on the missing amenities and the noise levels that traveled through the flat and ultimately worked out a deal with us to find accommodations more suited to our needs. What started as a messy situation was very well resolved by Miguel and it was a pleasure working things out with him.
