We just stayed at Daniel's place for two weeks and it was a perfect base from which to explore Berlin. The neighborhood was terrific--great cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, parks, easy access to public transportation. The apartment is spacious, clean, bright, homey, eclectic, well equipped and comfortable. The queen bed in the very large bedroom was comfortable, as was the pull out sofa bed in the living room. Having a piano was a real bonus. There was a stereo and speakers set up to play music from an iphone/pad. I was concerned that the apartment might be loud given that it is situated on a lively street, but once the windows on the street side were closed, it was surprisingly quiet. Since the back windows (and door to a small balcony) faced a quiet courtyard, those could be left open at night with no noise disturbance. The lift made it easy to get the suitcases up the 4 flights of stairs. Communication with Daniel was easy and he was very accommodating with check in/check out. Overall, a great experience!
