A coworker and I rented Michel's apartment while in Berlin for a work offsite, and we couldn't have picked a better place. The apartment is a clean, spacious two bedroom with beautiful high ceilings and hardwood floors, and it comes with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Besides for aesthetics, it had everything we needed: a washer/dryer, tv, fast internet, and heater (we were there in the winter).

As for the location, Prenzlauer Berg is awesome. We were within 5 minute walking distance to all kinds of restaurants, shops, and the subway. I'd highly, highly recommend trying some authentic wienerschnitzel and spaetzle at Schlawiner and getting some tagine with couscous at Al Hamra. Danziger Strasse is less than half a block away so you can easily catch a cab to hit up the clubs in Kruezberg. If Berlin's nightlife is what you want to experience, I'd recommend Kater Holzig, Watergate, and of course, Berghain!

Michel was an awesome host. He was responsive to all my emails, provided me with detailed instructions on how to get to the apartment from the airport, and met me on time at the listing. If I ever have a chance to visit Berlin again, I'd definitely reach out to Michel. Thanks!
