I have stayed at AirBnB’s around the world and Mario has one of the best!
I went to Berlin for a long weekend and before arriving Mario was easy to communicate with & very responsive to my questions. Mario sent photos with instructions so his apartment was super easy to find! When I arrived, Mario was there to greet and walk me though the apartment, which is amazing.
The apartment was even better than the pictures ! I especially liked the warm and friendly decor, the mood lighting that was easy to adjust, and the plants throughout the house. This is a true AirBnB, NOT a “hotel room” AirBnB. I also love there was no street noise, only some birds chirping, which was quite pleasant. The bathroom was clean with fun decor and plenty of light, the shower had excellent water pressure. Despite being a picky sleeper, I found the bed and pillows to be very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need, although because of tours and activities I did not have time to cook.
The neighborhood was really fun and Mario recommended a few restaurants which I tired. You can walk to lots of things including huge sections of the Berlin Wall and lots of night time activities. The apartment is less than five minute walk to the subway. The center of the city is much closer than I expected, a short 8-10 minute Uber.
Mario and his apartment and represent what I believe to be the true spirit of AirBnB and I would definitely stay here again!
