Bernd is a thoughtful and generous host with a really fantastic place in an excellent location. Let me start with the host: Bernd made me feel at home and like a friend. I very much enjoyed interacting with him and his company during my stay. All in all the atmosphere of the place is quite warm; there is no way to quantify or give a rating to that type of hospitality. The room was spacious with a large bed and a somewhat firm mattress (which was fine by me). The apartment is beautiful and I was able to get some work done on the balcony, enjoying the fine weather. The location is within walking distance to Schoeneberg and a few steps from the Yorckstraße U- and S-Bahn stations. My one complaint concerned an issue completely out of my host's control: for the first few days of my visit the internet provider was not able to provide service to the apartment. Altogether a really fantastic stay; Bernd is an awesome guy (and so are his friends).
