I did a lot of research before opting for Michael's apartment in Kreuzberg, Berlin. It was modern, clean, bright, neat and tastefully furnished. I liked its quirkiness too. The wifi worked well and the logistics of access were well done. When I ran into difficulties on the last day, almost the last hour, Michael was calm and helpful. The apartment is well located, and is easy to get to, with Ubahn stops for two different lines easily within walking distance. One nice touch is that there was a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates and some bread rolls waiting for me when I arrived. Even if I didn't drink the wine, it felt like a warm welcome. Michael is a welcoming host.
In April I plan to return to Berlin and to this lovely apartment again.
