If a status of a SUPER SUPER SUPER Host existed, Paulo and Guido would definitely deserve it.
Along with excellent and forthcoming communication, great accommodation and polite, yet relaxed and flexible treatment of a guest, Paulo and Guido offered outstanding kindness and openness which made me truly feel welcome.
Staying at Paulo's and Guido's place was a really unique experience. The apartment is furnished with great taste, style and class, including the terrace running around the entire penthouse. The guests are accommodated in a spacious room with their segment of a terrace, and have a separate bathroom for their own use. Kitchen which is shared, is modern, spacious, fully equipped and with a 'breakfast corner' offering coffee, tea and some cereals. The entire ambiance is very special, full of light, bright, warm and clean.
But the uniqueness of the experience has to do with the hosts themselves, more than with the space.
I was received kindly, warmly and openly. My busy schedule was supported by my hosts in a very understanding and friendly way. As this was my first visit to Berlin, they gave me right tips where to go and what to see in the limited time I had, and how to find my way in a new big city. I especially appreciated that Paulo shared insights of Berlin with me and we had very informative and inspiring discussions about the city's rich history and culture.
I hope I was as a good guest as my hosts deserve it.
