My wife and our little son stayed at Dirk's for six weeks or so, working from home during the Corona crisis. We are from Berlin ourselves, and this apartment exceeded our expectations - the patio is beautiful and fantastic for families, the apartment is cosy with a very modern kitchen, the location is superb (near beautiful Chamissoplatz, so a bit quieter but close to Bergmannkiez) and Dirk is a great host, very flexible and helpful.
