Pascal met me at the apartment & made great suggestions of excellent local cafe & restaurant a block away: African restaurant had delicious food and a multicultural supermarket nearby has everything you need and more!
Pascal's urban apt is 2 blocks to the Neukolin metro, near what I was doing for the weekend in Berlin. The apartment is a separate unit on the ground floor in E. Berlin, very convenient to transportation + sites of interest. Pascal does not live in the building, but is very responsive to what you need, mostly by email.

The space is ample for 2+ people, back bedroom walks through 2nd living/bedroom to kitchen & bathroom in separate sections of apt. Clean & uncluttered, utilitarian space for travelers. Being an Airbnb host myself, I am partial to the personal connection with a host-on-site model, rather than as a business that removes housing for local residents. Having said that, the apartment was functional and served my needs well. Thanks, Pascal
