We were in Berlin for a gig at the Astra Kulturhaus, and Philipp's place was the perfect place to stay. We absolutely loved the apartment, so stylish and full of thoughtful touches. The location is fantastic too. I've stayed in Kreuzberg before, and it's such a great part of Berlin, wonderful restaurants and bars, fascinating graffiti, beautiful trees, families and children, but loads of cool folks too. So far it's my favourite part of the city. Philipp was a great host, and sent us loads of tips on places to eat and drink, and responded quickly to any queries I had. We really, really enjoyed our extraordinarily tasty breakfast at Restaurant Bastard, which is only a short walk away. We spent some brilliant very late nights in Hotel Bar (just around the corner from the apartment), delicious amaretto sours and unusual, highly entertaining company. We also went to 'Street Food Thursday' at nearby Markthalle Neun, where we enjoyed fine wine and an incredible choice of delicious food. I can't wait to return to Berlin, and can't recommend Philipp's place highly enough. Just wonderful.
