We, a Belgian family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) stayed at Mata's loft for 6 nights, which was a wonderful experience! First of all, Friedrichshain is a very vibrant and young neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and cafés, a nice biomarket further down the street and a pleasant park with a fleamarket on Sunday. The liveliness of the street was in contrast with the absolute calm of the loft which can be reached after crossing 2 inner courtyards. The loft is spacious, very nicely decorated (vintage and Buddhist elements) and has all the comfort you need (WiFi, dish washer, washing machine). We enjoyed the warm Berliner nights on either the frontyard or backyard terrace. The youngest daughter of 6 had a great time in the beautiful girl's room. The communication with Mata via email went very well. As she was abroad, we unfortunately didn't meet Mata, but a friend of her welcomed us at our arrival and showed us around. He was available throughout the week if we had questions. This was our first experience with AirBnB, and overall it was one of our best trips ever (and we travel quite a lot ;)). Thank you Mata!
