My partner and I didn't spend too long in our room at Max's cozy apartment in East Berlin; we were too busy sightseeing and walking around the city. But whatever little time we did spend – sleeping, getting ready, freshening up – was nice. I loved playing with Max's cats (and I'm not even a cat person!), and Max himself is very respectful and unobtrusive as a host. He left us alone and always responded when we needed something. Everything is very systematic and clear. Well-connected area, too, not too far from the East Side Gallery. Much recommended.
