The apartment was exactly as in the photos. The bed was comfy and everything worked as it should. The view outside was as lovely as the location - very convenient with train stations just around the corner as well as plenty of cafes, supermarkets, post office etc.

There are also markets on the street a few times each week which are fantastic.

Friedrich was there to let me in and introduce me to all of the workings of the apartment. He was exceptionally helpful and friendly - an excellent welcome to Berlin! I had a fantastic visit to Matthias' apartment and will definitely return.
