Eric was a great host! My Gilrfriend and our little miniature pincher stayed with him for the last 2 weeks of April. This was our first 2 weeks in Germany of a planned year and it was a great first impression. He was very helpful with suggestions of places to see and things to do, as well as offer a few German language tips. He was very respectful of our space and welcoming. The room is spacious and very central with lots to see and do only a 10 minute walk away. Hermannplatz U-Bahn is also a 5 minute walk which makes the rest of the city very accessible. His description says there is a bit of noise from the street at night but we hardly found this to be a problem. If you close the window shutters you can hardly hear a thing! Thanks for being such a great host.
