The apartment was as described in the listing, clean, functional, and very comfortable for 4 people sharing. It's located near to a tram stop, but we often walked to the subway, which was about 15 - 20 mins. from the apartment. Berlin's tram and subway system is a bit complicated, especially if you don't understand German! The surrounding area of Prenzlauer Berg is packed with small cafes, coffee bars, and unique shops. The bakery across the street has cheap German breakfasts (breads, meats, and cheese) to start the day.

We picked up and dropped off the key for the apartment from a restaurant nearby, so we never met Lasse during the course of our stay. He kindly let us leave our luggage in the flat on the last day, although he asked us to wash and hang the bed linens we used, which was a bit of a surprise, as we thought that is what the cleaning fee is for. And finally - make sure to bring your own hairdryer, as the flat unfortunately isn't equipped with one. Overall though, we'd recommend the flat and would stay there again in the future!
