Lamin’s space was exactly the type of way we would have hoped to experience Berlin. So good in fact, that we could see ourselves living in that neighborhood (if we had the choice too).
Friedrichshain was amazing!! Take advantage of the elevator, which helped a ton when you’re carrying heavy luggage, as well as Lamin’s thorough list of recommended things to eat, see, experience!! We wish we had more time to hit them all.
Tip on the shower if it overflows, you’ll have to fork/knife the metal bar that serves as the drain. There was buildup upon or arrival but a quick (although a bit grimey) fix is to throw in some gloves and pull that hair/lint out; otherwise, you’ll be stuck with a flooded trail around the standing shower.
There’s a washer and drying rack, so don’t feel like you need to pack too many outfits. This was useful for our trip and would have saved us some extra weight on clothes we didn’t end up wearing.
There’s plenty of space for 4-5 people here! Although we didn’t get to use the deck, the view of the sky from the top floor can be serene, especially as the sun is just peeking through.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, Lamin!! I’d recommend booking this place if it’s available!
