This place exceeded even the lofty expectations I had after reading the stellar reviews. The apartment is spacious and comfortable -- the bed especially. And it's very cute; it feels like a real Berlin place. The location, in the heart of Kreuzkölln, is stellar. There must be more than 100 bars within a 10-minute walk, but it isn't loud or crowded in the immediate vicinity of the apartment building. And it's very close to a metro station. But the real jewel of this listing is Stefan himself; he is as warm and generous a host as I can possibly imagine. I was visiting Berlin by myself, and the night I arrived, he shared some amazing Slovakian schnapps with me before taking me out to some of his favorite bars in the neighborhood. He really made me feel at home in a strange city, improving my stay in Berlin tremendously.
