Andreas was a very helpful and great host. He made us feel very welcome. The apartment was in a superb location - old east Berlin, and there were plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The apartment was very basic indeed, no thrills at all but clean and adequate for sleeping. Probably could have done with a little bit of TLC (Tender Loving Care) and an upgrade to the beds/linen/pillows etc, but a good quiet spot, plenty of life if you just walk 100 meters into town. Loved the sense of history in this apartment block, high ceilings, large windows and grand doors. Would stay again.
