Amad is a great host: warm, attentive, and discreet, with a beautiful, well-kept and absolutely singular home. His cat is well-behaved too. He welcomed me energetically though it was after 10 at night when I arrived, and, having made me a glass of tea and showed me the bathroom (exclusively for guests' use), retired to his own part of the house. I only stayed one night, but I hope to get the chance to visit again.

The bed was firm and comfortable, with a warm duvet. The room was quiet and spotless, with gentle morning light through the window.

Having previously lived in the neighborhood for a year, I can attest that the location is perfect for visitors: one-minute walk to an excellent breakfast place / temporary office (Hilde), 10min to the best supermarket in Berlin (LPG), <20min walk to the Mauerpark and Oderberger Str, frequent tram just outside the door, 3min tram ride to Alexanderplatz.
