As a first time user of Airbnb (and looking for a 3 month accommodation), I was quite concerned when my previous booking fell through at the last moment (literally the day before I was supposed to be in Berlin)!
However, Klaus has been a fantastic and exemplary host, and the reason why I will always use Airbnb in the future. Everything was way better than I expected:
- Klaus accepted my booking request within 30 minutes, despite me having an incomplete profile(at the time) and no reviews
- He met me at the apartment at 23:00 on a Saturday!
- He also provided a lot of creature comforts (small touches always matter) and had a perfect intuition of what I would need during my stay
- The apartment is beautifully maintained, despite being in an older building, and you can see the care and attention that was put into making it a great and welcoming living space, with everything a long or short term traveler could possibly need or want
- The area is exceptionally quiet and stylish (if I had not occasionally met my neighbors on the stairwell I would have thought the building was unoccupied )
- Access to transportation(bus station outside the door of the building), parks (literally across the street), restaurants, mom & pop shops, Lidl, Aldi, coffee shops, all within a 500m area
Overall, a fantastic experience which i wholeheartedly recommend to anybody wanting to stay or visit Berlin!
