We (a group of 5) stayed at Michele's flat for a weekend in May 2012 and will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visting Berlin. The Prenzlauerberg area is lively, full of cafés, restaurants, boutiques. Quite a few recommended places were within short distance from the apartment.

The apartment itself is just as pictured. We can attest that the bed and 2 sofa beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped if you'd like to do some cooking. There is even a barbecue grill on the terrace. And of course, the jacuzzi tub is a treat.

Since there were several of us who arrived at separate times, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Michele. However, he was friendly, quick and reliable with our reservations. (He's fluent in English, German, French and Italian... so he's got most communication needs covered). He gave us thorough instructions on how to arrive from the airport and sort ourselves out at the flat. He left a 3 page list of restaurants to try and his nightlife recommendation was spot on, an underground party we would never have found on our own.

Large, comfortable flat, best area in Berlin, excellent host, don't hesitate booking this place.
