It was a very pleasant stay. I am glad that I have chosen to stay in Tom and Arzu's apartment. I would really recommend this place.
The apartment is quite large for me on my own. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living rooms are all separated, and they are connected by a hallway.
The apartment is absolutely clean - can't even spot a single hair on the floor. Bed lining smells fresh. Fridge is completely empty. Toaster and coffee maker look clean and new.
Tom and Arzu have equipped their apartment with lots of books. Among those there are some books about Berlin (in English!) for guests to read. You also get a free large bottle of water and some gummy bears upon arrival. Very sweet!
Bathroom facilities and heaters work perfectly fine. Much better than the ones I have at home. :(
To walk to the closest underground station it takes only 5 mins. You can get to Brandenburg Gate in 30 mins with only one change of line. There is also a bus stop (bus 142) right next to the underground station. Transport is very convenient.
The district in which the apartment locates is quite quiet. It's clearly a district for residence. There are many small restaurants and shops around. There is also a medium-size supermarket within 10-min walking distance to the apartment.
Finally, I really appreciate Tom's advices for me about where to visit, what to eat and how to get around. I was given clear instructions on how to get to the apartment from airport. He even informed me about road closure. He is a very nice host! I am happy to come across such a nice host for my first time using airbnb.
