Michael's apartment is fantastic! The building is beautiful (plus it comes with a lift) and has amazing views from every window since we are at the top floor. The furnishings and decorations are very modern and it comes with everything that a one needs for their time in Berlin, whether it's only for a few months or even longer. Location is also 5 stars - we are less than 5 mins walk to two different grocery stores, as well as numerous types of restaurants, cafés, even a pharmacy. The U-bahn station is also a few mins walk away, and only 10 mins ride to the city center (Alexanderplatz), so it's super convenient! There are also trams and buses within close walking distance as well, which you can take for 5 mins to the nearest S-bahn station. The neighborhood is mainly residential, which is very nice. It's very well lit and I always feel safe, even if I need to make a night trip to the store by myself. Michael himself is very accommodating and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I may have - he is an excellent host! I would highly recommend a stay at his apartment and I would definitely stay with him again.
