I'm glad I had the pleasure of staying with Davide in his gorgeous loft and making a friend in Berlin. He made me feel at home. As it happened, he hosted (with advance warning before I booked the reservation) a tango milonga in the space with a band who stayed in the larger bedroom. It was a wonderful and unique experience, which resulted in my interest in tango and even taking a private dance lesson while visiting Berlin. Davide was a kind and conscientious host, and his apartment and attention to detail is really cool. It's clean, the kitchen and bath are great, and the bed is comfortable. The location is quite central, especially to the numerous bars, restaurants and clubs of Friedrichshain.
