While the communication and check-in were easy, the place was not what we expected. It's a strange semi-basement room with beds / sofas, chairs, table and a fridge, separate shower and an external toilet which you cannot lock. The lock to the main room is just a normal lock that you would have inside your house to lock a room, not a secure lock for a dwelling. The beds are single beds pushed together. It was not very clean. The host's brother lives upstairs and there is cigarette smoke and people hanging out outside the main door that you enter to get down a narrow circular stair to the semi-basement. The area is not the best in Kreuzberg with lots of open drug dealing. It's probably an ok place for a bunch of friends coming to shower and sleep in between partying but not for a couple or single girls.
