Carson's flat is fabulous! There's a beautiful view from the balcony, where we enjoyed coffee in the morning, where we enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine or beer in the evening! The flat itself is actually much more roomy than the pictures show. The two of us had plenty of room. The neighborhood which is called the Red Island is the best. I don't think I ever want to stay anywhere else in Berlin. It is so peaceful and quiet and feels like a small little village but yet public transportation gets you into the heart of Berlin in no time at all. Carsten is a wonderful host easy to communicate with and always very prompt with responses. I highly recommend a stay here.
