Where to begin? We travel to Berlin once every year and are currently starting our own search for a home there, and what a great space and location Frans has!
This was our first time ever staying in Friedrichshain! We loved the neighborhood and happened to be staying during a crazy heatwave in Europe. The neighborhood is hip and lively with tons of vegan, organic options and every type of cuisine you could imagine. A main S Bahn station is literally only two blocks away.
The heat took us by surprise in mid September but the building where the condo is located kept us very cool at night due to the thick walls. The space is terrific! A very comfortable murphy bed converted the studio into a large space with an ultra modern kitchen and a great sofa that very easily converts into a square cube, great for lounging on chill evenings with a glass of wine and Netflix!
Frans was amazing from his first contact here on Airbnb. We live in Chicago, Frans in Cape Town and the space in Berlin and one would think that correspondence between us would be difficult. Not the case at all! Not only did he respond super quickly with every inquiry, he also gave us advice on purchasing in Berlin and even helped us to make an appointment with his real estate agent, Fabian!
This was quite literally our favorite time ever in Berlin and we have Frans to thank for that! He is a fantastic host! The studio is centrally located and with a quick U-S Bahn trip or a half hour walk you will discover so many great neighborhoods!
