I stayed at Susannes place for a couple of months at the beginning of my move to Germany. It’s very difficult finding a flat in Berlin to rent as you need a lot of paperwork, so renting an Airbnb to begin with is one of the best options.
Susanne was a brilliant and a very accommodating host. She was kind enough to let me register as a resident in her apartment, which is key to getting on the housing rental ladder and trivial things like opening German bank accounts. She was also happy for me to work at the flat which made my job as a tech freelancer much simpler.
The apartment is a good size for a single person or a couple, and has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The balcony on spring evenings is lovely.
The area is very friendly and full of good places to eat and drink. The transport links are also excellent with several U-bahn stations within walking distance. There are tons of supermarkets too.
The checking in and out process was very simple. Susannes neighbour Mr Gurke was on hand to make sure my stay in the apartment was comfortable. He works as the building janitor and lives on the same floor which is handy.
I really enjoyed my stay here, and really recommend Susanne as a really good host. She was always on hand with speedy email replies to offer advice and guidance, often going out of her way to help me through the bureaucratic process of registering in Germany.
Thanks for a great stay Susanne!
