Staying with Rene was nothing short of a fairytale. What was an admittedly cold and rainy weekend in Berlin was warmed up by our accommodating host. Once we arrived, he spent an hour getting to know us, shared his favorite places in Berlin, and served us Shtollen (a traditional German cake). The next morning, we woke up to an abysmal gray sky but found that Rene had left us umbrellas and a helpful note suggesting some exhibits we should see.
The apartment itself is perfectly clean and wonderfully decorated. We had no complaints whatsoever and will be thinking about that shower often. Highly recommend Rene!
