It's not a surprise that Thor and his cool cats are super-hosts.
Booking was seamless given the circumstances. We were welcomed to a last minute reservation (booked same-day) even though we had a late arrival to Berlin.
The hospitality was exceptional. Thor made sure we were well hydrated and fed (either sharing his own spoils or recommending great places nearby) and made great conversation throughout our staying - educating us on the history of the area and cluing us in on what it's like to live and work in Berlin. Thor was even let us tag along to a BBQ at Tempelhof on what was an extraordinarily nice late April afternoon.
The apartment itself is extremely tidy, comfortable and full of light and with an elegant Scandinavian style. The location is very convenient - right in the heart of Kreuzberg (read: loads of cafes and bars around the corner) and accessible to the big sites... just a short walk the the Jewish museum and Checkpoint Charlie and short bus ride to Brandenburg Gate / Potsdam Platz / Reichstag area. There are two cats and they are very sweet.
...by far one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had. I expect to be back in Berlin for business overthe next few months and look forward to staying with the cool cats again if there's availability.
