This is a kind of 'private hotel', rather than someone's home. It was large and sparkingly clean, and the host was very helpful and keen to show us everything about the location. A very large bathroom and coffee was provided already in the apartment. There was a small bottle of champagne on arrival, which was a nice touch. The host took a photo of my passport, I wasn't very keen on that. Whilst Simon was very helpful, it was a little bit too much contact - i prefer to do things online if i can. But overall a large, clean and great value option close to public transport in Berlin.
