I like the spaciousness of the place and the view out the windows was pleasant. It was also quiet and close to public transportation even though further away from the main city attractions and nightlife then I would have liked. (It is a ghost town around the place at night)
There is a fabulous Cafe across the street serving great lunch for a few hours every day.
Loui was nice even though he didn't speak much English. He provided me a map of the city and a converter for my American electronics which was very nice. He did not however provide much orientation to the city when I first arrived I think partly because of the English barrier.
The main suggestion I would make for future guests is for Loui to fix the plumbing in the bathroom, particularly the shower drain. The shower regularly fills up with water and spills out onto the bathroom floor and creeps into the main apartment floor. This also leads to a great deal of moisture remaining in the bathroom even after I used the water broom to sweep the water as best I could up into the shower drain. This leads to odors and a moisture smell around the bathroom.
Also I would replace the tea kettle with something that isn't stained and gross in the bottom. I also had to unplug the gas outlet to the stove because it smelled like gas when connected.
The above is especially so given the nightly cost for the apartment which was not inexpensive.
This could be a much better place if Loui make some simple corrections.
I had a nice stay in Berlin. Thanks
