I enjoyed staying at Matthias's Kreuzberg studio. The apartment had everything I needed (in terms of basic amenities) and the location was fantastic. The apartment is a fairly large studio and it is adjacent to a beautiful canal and open-air Turkish Market, so grabbing a quick breakfast or coffee was as simple as stepping outside and walking just a few feet. Also, there were several great cafes, bars, and markets near by. There are many public transit options in the neighborhood as well.

I did not get the chance to meet Matthias, but Friedrich (from the building ) greeted me warmly and described the apartment to me. I was having some issues with international text messages with my phone but I was able to coordinate a check-in using the Airbnb app. Although Matthias was away he was easy to reach via Airbnb/email.

I would definitely stay at the studio again and I think it is a very good value. And the location couldn't be better. The only issue I had was with the style of the bathroom (for example, the shower curtain had to be carefully secured to ensure no water escaped) but I feel this is a fairly minor issue and I got the hang of it after a couple days.

So I'd like to thank Matthias and Friedrich for the opportunity to stay at the Kreuzberg Studio.
