Malek's place was just as it was advertised. The room is large, the flat is quite nice and it is very conveniently located next to both Ostkreuz for the S-Bahn and to many Tram stops as well. Both of these can take you to most places in the city within 20 minutes or less that you would want to see as a tourist. If you want to dig deep into the less touristy parts of Berlin, they will get you there too! There are many wonderful restaurants near the flat too. Plus being so close to Boxhanger Platz and the market there was an added bonus.
I lived at Malek's place for my first two weeks after moving to Berlin while I waited for my apartment to be available. I'm so happy I did too. Malek's flatmate Oscar was wonderful and showed me around the area on my first day. It was so nice having someone so helpful and kind to make me feel right at home in my new city. Oscar was very personable and I enjoyed having a cup of coffee with him sometimes in the morning or chatting at the end of our days.
If you are looking for a place to call home during your stay in Berlin, I would 100% recommend staying here. I've stayed at hotels while visiting Berlin before and while they were okay, I would much rather stay at Malek's place again if I was visiting the city!
Thank you Malek and Oscar for helping me out and making my move across an ocean so much easier! I appreciate it more than I can say!
