Anton welcomed us at the hour of our arrival, gave us the key of his wonderful home, offered us towels and free access to his whole wonderful kitchen (allowing us to store food in the fridge, use some oil and spices to cook, borrow some tupperware to have a picnic), the bathroom and even his washing machine ! His home is quiet, pretty, very cozy, and big. It has charm, so you will find peace in there (perfect for couples). Plus we could come back late in the night as long as we stayed discreet and we enjoyed it.
He was a really good host, always carrying for our confort. Also we didn't spend much time together, he was interested in learning about us and giving us some good advices, such as the place to go to find cheap, fresh and delicious vegetables and fruits (go find the second turkish grocery, right after Bülowstraße !).
Finally the place is located in the center of Berlin, but the street is mainly full of locals and their stores, which are not very expensive for many of them. There is a metro station and a drugstore right in front of the door of the building, and within 100 meter you could find everything you need. We specially advice you to try to go to Nelly-Sachs-Park (5 minutes away from Anton's place), because it's so beautiful and peaceful to go for a walk, to eat near the water or just to enjoy the wonderful children's games !
It would be a pleasure to come again,
Julie and Valentin
