This is probably the best Airbnb experience for me, and I use the service a lot. The apartment is just lovely, warm, homey, with light and balconies, tasteful art and furnishings, a kitchen set up for a foodie. By now, you probably know it is 5 flights up, so you have decide if you can live with that. If you can, you'll be well-rewarded. The metro is close, and a cafe for AM treats just a few doors down. Perhaps best of all is Andreas' friendly and prompt communications. Sometimes I imaged him hanging by a piton on a cliff and telling his buddies-- hold on, gotta answer this message! If all that doesn't convince you, imagine waking in the AM to radiant heating on the slate floor... welcome indeed for this chilly Berlin Christmas visit. Thank you Andreas!
