Fantastic stay! We were trying to do Europe on a budget and in Berlin even the airbnb's seemed pricier for entire apartments. After reading the reviews for Tom's place we decided to try out the renting a private room thing instead of an entire private apartment, and were not at all disappointed! Tom was great at communicating and very welcoming when we arrived.
What a neat room full of books and art and knickknacks for guests! Tom had the beds made with immaculate bedding, turned down for the night with oranges, chocolate bars and bottled water on the pillows waiting for us, plus water glasses on the table with the wi-fi information. He offered us beer and brought them in their correct glasses as well. Had a very pleasant chat and Tom was happy to help answer a few questions of the area that we had.
Next time we're looking to stay in Berlin, we will definitely return!
