When I arrived to the Berlin, I contacted someone not Kemal or Ferat who was very patient with me. When we got in the flat he showed me around then he presented me with a bill. He wanted me to pay a tax for staying in the flat. This is illegal and against the AirBnB policy. But he insisted that I needed to produce "official" documentation or pay the tax. AirBnB doesn't require "official" documentation. I don't know if Kemal and Ferat have required other visitors to pay the same fee.

After we handled that, everything else was fantastic. Kemal and Ferat were very responsive to my questions. The WiFi stopped working in the middle of the night. The next day they explained how I can prevent that. The comforters for the queen/king sized bed are small. Unfortunately they were not willing/able to bring comforters that were the appropriate size.

The neighborhood was nice and calm. I went for a jog and walked around, didn't feel uncomfortable or unsafe. The flat is within walking distance of two train stations.

Besides the fact that the host wanted to collect money from me when I arrived (which is against the AirBnB policy) everything else was wonderful. I am happy I decided to stay there.

Thanks for everything Kemal and Ferat
