Firstly, my stay at Parwana and Frank's place was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had!!
I stayed for three nights in which I needed to find an appartment in Berlin, as I'm moving here myself end of the year.
On arrival I was greeted by Frank and whilst drinking the coffee he offered me, Frank gave me great advice on how to actually find an appartment in Berlin. He really cared and took his time to give me insight tipps.
Also the following days, whenever I needed a restaurant tipp, or information about the local area, Frank always helped me out.
The room I stayed in was clean and just as pictured in the photos. There were a queen-size bed, a mirror, a table with two chairs and a small Ikea portable wardrobe. Furthermore two towels were provided.
The bathroom was very modern, brightly illuminated and clean. A hairdryer was provided.
During my stay there was only one bathroom for 6 bedrooms, but a second one is in the making. However even though there was currently only one bathroom, I never experienced any problems.
The kitchen tile was also clean and new. Coffee and tea were provided for free. Most people usually don't cook on a short visit to Berlin, but in this kitchen you could absolutely cook proper meals.
Lastly I would like to say something about the "kietz" this place lies in. It is not a party mile, but where families live, kids play on the streets and neighbours meet up after work to chat and have a beer at the local pub. Nevertheless, the city center is a 10 minute subway ride away. To get to the next subway station you need to walk 5-10 minutes max, and the next bus stop lies in 3 minutes walking distance. For Berlin, these are no long distances, and living in Charlottenburg surely has its benefits at night, as it is quiet and guarantees a good night sleep.
The neighbourhood also offers a variety of pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. All can be walked to in less than 5 minutes, and as I said before, Frank and Parwana will be more than happy to help you out with recommendations.
Overall I have only positive things to say about this place and hope to come back again. I can only highly recommend anyone to stay here, at this is not the typical Airbnb experience, but a friendly mix of Bed-and-Breakfast
and homestay.
