As a musician to have a piano and be able to practice in the space is a great advantage, and the host is very generous and understanding of musicians/artists and very accommodating, I was able to sing opera in the space freely which was invaluable. There were nice touches such as a CD and beer put out on arrival. Stephan also provided great suggestions about local bakeries and eateries which were very handy and which were very enjoyable eg a great artisan bakery around the corner with great coffee. The bed is comfortable . The one suggestion I would make would be some better curtains and a blind on the kitchen window for privacy at night, so as not to have to strategically manoeuvre doors to provide this and perhaps no food left from other guests eg half a packet of crisps, milk in fridge and 99per cent used nutella etc but that may be something others would appreciate and would not be bothered by so it is not a strong criticism and the place was clean. But the living space (a loft) is cosy and quite comfortable and great for artistic types and very very warm with the portable heater. The history of the building seems quite interesting too as regards the Berlin wall and all in all it was a great Berlin experience and I would recommend it to people who value having an easily accessible practice space.
