I don't travel to Europe often, and this was the first time that I have ever used Air BnB. I was a little skeptical, but frankly I can't imagine a better experience. Aglaja's apartment is perfect: spacious, clean, well decorated, and how can you beat staying in an art gallery? The location is very convenient, and Berlin's public transportation is inexpensive and easy to navigate. I had a couple of changes in my schedule, and our hosts were accommodating and helpful. If you are looking for a private place, I would highly encourage you to book it for a memorable experience.
