This was our very first time trying an Airbnb, and it was fantastic. Bernd was a wonderful host...he met us when we arrived (we were a title late arriving) and showed us his lovely apartment and our room. He had a large bottle of water and another of sparkling water and two treats waiting for us in our room. Bernd took time to explain the transit system and had maps of the city. He showed us how to use his coffee maker and toaster in the mornings. He also offered the use of the refrigerator to store our perishables if we had some. Everything was super clean and beautiful. While we shared a bathroom, our room was like its own little oasis. It was quite large, had a very comfy couch and chair, a comfortable bed, and our private use of the balcony that opened from our room. There was also a large television and wifi in our room. I was the one who did all the booking and had contact with Bernd, so I had a good idea what to expect (the real thing, though, was even better than I'd hoped). My husband, though, didn't really know what to expect...and he loved it. He especially loved Bernd's coffee in the morning. (Me too!). Thank you so much, Bernd, for such an enjoyable stay. I should also say that Bernd's apartment is located only a short walk from several city transit stops which took us into the heart of Berlin to all of the sights and landmarks within a few minutes. We were also able to get to Bern's place easily from Schoenefeld Airport using the S9. We highly recommend Bernd's Airbnb.
