Max's place is in a great location -- steps away from the UBahn Birkenstrasse. The apartment was very clean and was very roomy. Roomier than expected. It's furnishings are eclectic -- something typical to Berlin. Check-in was super easy. Max's communication style was easy going and supportive. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that the internet and TV didn't work for the first night we were there. Given the first night is when jetlag is the worst, our kids wake up at 3 a.m. and could neither watch TV nor view Netflix on their IPad. Max did come over and switch out the TV/internet box the next afternoon. Just was a rough start. Other than that -- highly recommended.
