We did not meet Andreas, but he was a thoughtful host, none-the-less. He was always prompt to respond to emails, and when we had major train problems coming into Berlin, he made arrangements with his neighbor to let us in and get us settled. His apartment was just as advertised--clean, roomy, sunny, and close ro public atransportation and a grocery store. We were grateful for the use of the washing machine. The neighbor was colorful and ethnic with lots of small cafes. The double windows kept things very quiet at night, and the little balcony was a lovely place to relax.
