We loved our time in Berlin. Arne was away during our stay. Given his written comments and responses, I am sure he would have been fun and interesting to meet in person. However, the apartment is small and definitely a bachelor pad. It might not have worked quite as well if he was in residence. The location is outstanding. Rosenhaler is interesting with much right out the door. The center of town is within easy walking distance and with bus, tram, and subway stops within steps, it is easy to get anywhere. Arne responded quickly to all requests we made.
