Marlon was great before the trip with lots of helpful information about getting to his apartment . The apartment was so beautiful , even better than the photos ! All the colours and design that I love . The fridge was stocked with great essentials including much needed cold beer as Berlin was very warm that weekend . The area was fantastic , lots of cafes . We went to Barini just around the corner the first eve and had good food . The apartment is in a great area for public transport and I hope to return again sometime .
