Bert and his wife were the most lovely of hosts. Their beautiful apartment is situated in one of the cooler and culturally vibrant areas in Berlin. Luckily, it is a few blocks away from the active streets which allows for quiet time at home. The apartment is obviously cared for with love which is important for me. Although it is sparkly clean, it doesn’t feel sterile and un-lived in.
Bert is extremely helpful with any needs for people who hadn’t been to Berlin like myself such as how to get around on the subway, where to check out some music, and different areas to hang in. He is very well versed in all things Berlin.
I am grateful for having picked Berts apartment to stay in. It absolutely helped maximize my Berlin experience and I look forward to staying at his place again.
PS....he is also doing some very important work with environmental awareness and if you get a chance to discuss with him I highly recommend it. You’ll learn some stuff
