At the first glance, the area looked very calm and cozy. However, after we arrived and while I was moving stuff out of car and taking inside, I realized that my backpack, which I put beside the curb and I was away for literally less than 2 min, was stolen! It was a shocking start to a holiday trip. The next day I saw some other backpacks in the same street torn and left. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my backpack and I lost my laptop, iPhone, iPad, and some personal stuff. I immediately filed a report to Berlin Police and then messaged Michael to get some more help. But, surprisingly, he never replied. Even the Wi-Fi password was wrong in his instructions and asked him about correct password but no response. Really disappointing. I strongly recommend NOT to rent his place, since he is not responsive at all and the area is not safe.
