I stayed at Paolo's place for 1 month. Paolo made everything to make me feel welcome and he was polite enough to explain every detail about the apartment. It was a really nice experience staying with him. Also, the area near the apartment is quiet yet has restaurants and bars nearby. Moreover, the apartment is located <5mins from 2 U-bahn stations (U Schönleinstr. & U Hermannplatz) and a bus stop of M41 which takes you directly to the center is just around the corner. So if you want to go around with transportation, it is really convenient.
