The Space
Malte’s place is not a pure rental - it’s his home. And so it has wonderful, personal touches that celebrate his fondness for ‘slow living’. Think hand coffee grinder, no tv, a great kitchen for making meals, a nice sound system, etc. Everything in the space is meticulously cared for and curated, and gives you a feeling of peace and simplicity.
The Location
Pretty central in Neukölln, with a large shopping centre two blocks away, a train station nearby, a späti around the corner, and and cafes/restaurants downstairs. Great base of operations to get to Tempelhof, Kreuzberg, and other nearby suburbs.
The Host
Malte was great. Generous with his time and recommendations, and definitely had a ‘help yourself/make yourself at home’ attitude (which I indulged in when it came to using his coffee supplies!). Little touches - like a welcome note - make you feel like an appreciated guest, and having basic bathroom and kitchen supplies provided by Malte makes arriving after a day of travel feel great. You’re a gem, Malte!
