Armin was very welcoming from the moment I booked his flat. If you're familiar with Berlin then you know that Savignyplatz is a desired address and very central location blocks from the Ku'dam, the Berlin Zoo, Kaiser Wilhelm Church, parks, numerous restaurants and open air cafes. Armin's home is on the top floor above the trees and provides a great view while being private and quiet. The flat is exactly as shown in the photos provided. And it is actually quite large. It has two nice balconies to lounge at and enjoy a glass of wine or Berliner beer. The eat-in kitchen is self-contained, there two televisions equipped with cable and available washer and dryer in the flat. Everything is in working order and very clean. Towels and linen were provided. Once I settled in I really felt at home. The immediate neighborhood is vibrant; the Savignyplatz Sbahn is less than a 5 minute walk away with easy access to the main train station, (S5) Spandau and East Side Gallery areas, and transfers. You can also access the bus or taxi stand in the same 3-5 minute walk. I have lived in Berlin before and visited several times usually staying in a hotel but Armin's flat was much more comfortable and allowed me to move about on my schedule instead of housekeeping's. He was very kind to provide some initial background on the neighborhood with regards to the grocery store location, access to rental bikes, and work-out gyms nearby. He also made himself available to me whenever I did have a question. I was very grateful for his hospitality and overall friendliness. I definitely finished my stay not wanting to leave Berlin, but I now know that when I come back to visit, where I want to stay, and also spend more time getting to know Armin. Thank you for opening up your home!
