I booked Massimo&Lucia's on behalf of my daughter (Grace) for one semester of her University of North Carolina grad school, at Humboldt Univ in Berlin. Grace said the location was "really good" and the amenities were excellent - dishwasher, nice kitchen, washing machine. Especially appreciated by both Grace and me was M & L also introduced Grace to their daughter, who was a student at Humboldt as well. Their family graciously helped Grace get settled and oriented, not only in the apt but in Berlin as well. Six stars!
