Lukas & Salome are such a wonderful couple.
I got lost coming to the space but messaged Lukas and he came to find me and immediately addressed that he'd give more specific directions on the air b n b page since I should have been able to find it-- to me this showed that he was really wanting to make everything about the stay at the house easily accessible, easy and comfortable; and that he truly cared.
He gave me a nice tour of the space and the room is really beautiful. It feels open and is decorated in a very classy/modern manner. As a writer, space organization/desk location makes a room and I have to say that the room let's you relax but also inspires you with the carefully placed art pieces/ art books and plants.
It's definitely a family home but the kids are very used to guests being around so you don't feel like an imposition to their family dynamic. The kids leave early in the morning and are in bed pretty early and are very quiet and well behaved.
They are going to expand the apartment so that eventually the Air b n b guests get their own section of the house but for now, the bathroom is a shared space so it's occupied before the kids go to school and while they are getting ready for bed but that's really it. The bathroom is clean and spacious and has a bath!! Super plus.
The bathroom and the room are behind a door that separates you from the living room so it feels extremely private.
As far as Lukas and Salome as people, they are extremely friendly and welcoming and you can tell they are very worldly/experienced with travel and therefore know how to interact and when to interact et.
I actually had dinner with them the first night and it was nice to chat and get to know each other.
The house is a 2 min walk from the public transit station and is about a 45 min train ride into the center of Berlin. It's location is across from a mall and the main strip of grocery stores and banks in this town. It's super quiet and clean and full of green. It's a nice neighborhood to walk around in as well. You get to feel less like a tourist :)
Overall, very socially intelligent couple who are familiar with travel and totally give you your space unless you want to engage
Highly recommend
