Thomas is an exceptionally accommodating host. He went out of his way to make me feel welcome in the neighbourhood, down to having drinks and meals with me. I can only say good things about him.

The apartment is small, but well appointed. All the fittings are new, and it's beautifully laid out. The view out the windows is cute, and Prenzlauer Berg is a beautiful area.

The location is extremely well serviced for public transportation. You can pretty much get from anywhere in town to this apartment at any time of day or night.

A couple of small things to bear in mind, though. There is no lift for the building, and the apartment is on the top floor, so if you're not comfortable going up and down five flights of stairs at least twice a day, then this is not the place for you.
Similarly, because the apartment is small, there are a couple of fiddly points around getting things in and out. The shower is the big one - it takes a little work to get in and out, and there isn't much room for moving about. Similarly, it can be a little fidgety getting detergent into the washing machine.

That said, I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment. If you're a fan of the area, and need somewhere quiet and easy, then this is the place for you!
