Frank is a truly gifted host. The room was wonderful (lots to read on the walls!), the bed comfortable, the window big, I slept really well in unforgettable surroundings. Great water pressure in the shower too. I like the neighborhood--and Frank's partner's gallery across the street, the Crystal Ball. Coffee and tea and croissants are always available, and when Frank comes by there's the pleasure of talking to him about Berlin, movies, whatever comes to your mind. The Flophouse Deluxe is even more fun to look at and look around in in reality than in the pictures, and clean as a whistle too.
