Norbert was a fantastic host. We arrived early but he was still able to accommodate us and even carried our somewhat heavy suitcases up the few flights of stairs. We arrived wishing to urgently purchase tickets to watch the Australian Football League Grand Final at a local Berlin pub as our team was playing. He handled it all for us and we were lucky to get 2 of the last 6 tickets!
The apartment is very cool and eclectic with some interesting light fixtures. It also has a great kitchen with some terrific amenities for cooking. It is also located in a great area and very easy to commute to Berlin central via the local well equipped train station. The coffee place down the road became a must for us every morning (great coffee, cakes and breakfast!). The only down side was no washing machine but we knew that when we booked and the bathroom is quite tiny but manageable. Norbert will do everything to make your stay pleasant and we highly recommend this apartment.
