Thor is a remarkable Airbnb host. He is truly interested in making sure his guests feel like guests and enjoy their time in Berlin. For us, this meant he walked us around the neighborhood to show us his favorite spots and he made us Sunday brunch. There's nothing like learning about a city from someone who clearly loves it and wants you to love it too.
His flat is also great--easy to get to and on a quiet street but near lots of great bars and restaurants. Thor has everything you need in case you forget anything, plus two awesome cats you never knew you needed.
I think Thor's place is what the Airbnb creators had in mind when they made the company: an beautiful extra room plus a host who loves to meet people and should be working in the hospitality business. We will be back!
