Francesco and his wife were very kind and helpful. On my first day of a 4 days stay, Francesco already helped me a lot with guiding through the city, using the maps in the room.
The neighborhood is quite calm, but even on Sundays or holidays you will find a place to eat out or to buy some coffee (however supermarkets are closed).
It is a normal neighborhood, mostly residential, so has a lot of fast food stores and some other small stores (such as hairdressers and others).
The neighborhood has a lot of different races and cultures mixed together such as Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Turkish, etc (but specially Turkish).
I stayed alone in Berlin for almost 4 days and there was no problem walking around the neighborhood alone, even though I tried to not return later than 10 pm to the house.
The house is exactly what you see in the pictures and it is very clean and tidy.
Also Francesco and his wife prepared a small file case, which is available at the room, with a lot of information, like close places to eat out, transport information, house rules, information on museums and cool things to do in the city. In the room you will also find a lot of different maps of the city to help you prepare for your city walks and sightseeing.
The house is quite warm, but not too warm. Just the perfect indoor temperature, so you will not have cold or feel too hot. The house environment is very relaxing.
There is no TV, but the Wi-Fi is great. I didn’t cook, but the house is provided with an excellent kitchen for preparing simple meals, plus little cooking items such as oil, salt or sugar (and others).
Francesco was also very flexible about the arrival and departing time, and accommodate some last minute changes about that. It was always very easy to get through him.
If I ever go to Berlin again I will probably book this again.
