We stayed almost a week in July at Andrea´s lovely place. Super nice neighbourhood with lots of nice´n cozy restaurants and cafés. The metro station is a 5 min walk away. We recommend the Pizza place A Magica and the ice cream patisserie Hokey Pokey "right outside the door». Try the salty caramel!! We never got the chance to meet Andrea himself but he was extremely accommodating and very friendly, keeping us up to date on what to see and where to go in Berlin before we came. The iPhone he left in the apartment for us to use was a big help. We experienced some noise from the streets during the nights since we needed to have the windows open (heatwave) and a mishap with the apartment not beeing ready when we came, but all over it was a great stay.
