Everything is as expected when I arrived at Santiago's place. The house is well maintained and clean. The room is big, tidy and comfortable to sleep in. The bed can be squeaky at times but other than that its absolutely great! I slept really well. The kitchen is well equipped if you fancy cooking. I love the bathroom, a bit like a hotel style bathroom. The Wifi is extremely good! The flat is located near the ubahn (Birkenstr), 2-3 minutes walk I believe. The easiest way to get to this flat from Schönefeld airport is to get the RE7 from airport to Zoologischer garten, then take the U9 line . There are also supermarkets nearby which is 5 minutes walk. It felt safe walking in the area even at night.
Santiago and his mum/friend are welcoming. He has given me enough information about Berlin and the area in general. There are two cats, not the most sociable but they are cute :) Overall I would highly recommend everyone to book this room. Just what you need when you visit Berlin. Thanks to Santiago and his mum/friend for the lovely lunch! I had a lovely time seeing the city and staying at your flat.
Pros:
- good location
- clean, well equipped kitchen
- Fast Wifi!
- Santiago is friendly, well spoken and helpful.
Cons:
- Not much really, maybe just the bed can be squeaky.
