Andrea is a fantastic host. He was very communicative from the time we requested a reservation all the way until he called a cab for us to make it to the airport.

The flat was in a cool neighborhood with tons of restaurants and shops ( I recommend eating at "Butter" - a diner a few blocks from the flat). It is very spacious and the amenities are excellent - 1.5 bathrooms, Wifi, a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. Andrea provided an iphone for use with a phone plan so we could use it for train routes ( I thought that was a nice touch). Even though the flat is in a vibrant area it was very quiet at about 10:30 each night. In addition, the metro station (S+U Bahn) is only a block or two away.

Next time I am in Berlin I will stay here again.
