We stayed at Mata and her familys place for 4 nights and it was one of my best expirinces ever staying at another persons appartment/house. That out of two main reassons: The appartment/house itself and wonderful Mata which proved to be an fantastic and attentive host.

The appartment:
What could I say? How could I describe this place so that it gets the justice it should have? I probably can´t - you have to stay and live here.

Old factory building turned in to a wonderful place with a lot of space and several meters to the roof on top of that two green private gardens. Perfect for a family with children. The place has a room where two kids live with a lot of things to do and play with (and they are totally ok with it). In this room two kids could sleep in a loft.

The living room combined with a dinner place and kitchen makes it feel enormous and gets that social hub that you really wan´t. Two big sofas that where great to han in and also to sleep in. Kitchen fantastic (since the live here when they are not renting it out).

A bit further in the bedrom (next to the kids room) with a bed that easily fits two (and a kid!). The bathroom a shower you never wan´t to leave and a bathtub.

Mata was an excellent host. She was so nice and easilly going with all the information that was needed. Even when we missed our connection (at 23.00 in the night) and came several hours late she managed to solve the problem. She was also a hit to talk about the politics in greece (she´s from there), about Germany and a lot of other interesting stuff.

You will live in Friedrichshain close to a lot of restaurants, parks and communication (U-bah, S-bahn, Strassenbahn) to reach everything that you would like to reach.

Berlin is an exeptional place to be in. This appartment in an exeptional place stay in when you are in Berlin. I am already recomending it to all my friends that on one or another point will visit Berlin and I would urge you that are considiring this place: stop looking and you have found the perfect stop to a very good price with a fantastic host.

I will come back and I hope that we could stay at Matas place one more time then.
