Amazing. It was like staying at a friend of a friend's and finding out just why your friend speaks so highly of him. Firstly, Pension Berlin seems so like a labor of love, an extension of Frank's and his friends' creative vision, a place that you have the intimate privilege of being invited in to share. You feel like a guest in the truest sense of the word. It is festooned with thought-provoking art that often seems to comment upon the German vernacular and culture which is, of course, such a treat when you are a tourist wanting to grasp a foreign land. The amenities are all that one needs — a comfortable bed, hot shower, a coffee maker [essential, really] and super clean. All within an environment with an aesthetic you will never forget. Oh, and did I mention what a pleasant and helpful fellow Frank is? Do not miss out on this place!
