We stayed Michael's apartment in Friedrichshain for the month of June 2015. The apartment was incredible. We felt it was even better than the photos looked. Very spacious, new, modern, and clean. All the appliances (dishwasher and laundry) worked very well and the beds and couch were of outstanding quality. The kitchen is quite big and was equipped with everything you would need. The closets in the bedroom are very big and there is more than enough space to store clothing.

The other best part about it is the area it is in. We have been all over Berlin and this part of Friedrichshain is our favorite place to hang out. It doesn't get much mention in the guidebooks but I suppose it is best to keep that a secret. A really cool vibe that is neither rough nor pretentious. Tons of great restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. You are very close to the U, S, and M lines so getting to Mitte and other areas is very easy.

Michael was fantastic. Always reachable and very responsive. We enjoyed having him as a host and would recommend this place to everyone.
