Luiz himself is a great guy, having met him when he popped over to the apartment to say hello. After a brief and swift conversation, I was left assured with a cheery message that if I ever needed help, he was there on the other end of the line. Gratefully, throughout the entire duration of my stay, there was never the need to request anything, the apartment had more or less everything I needed.
The apartment itself is well equipped, consisting of an inventory that any individual may need, a compact kitchen with induction hob, microwave and a larder fridge/freezer; and a washing machine and separate dryer located in the also compact bathroom. The sleeping quarters will also be your lounge area, presenting a comfortable double bed with extra sheets, bedside tables, shelving, a worktable complete with metal and woodwork vices (if you fancy a bit of crafting, vielleicht?). Lounging area consists of an eating/working desk with multiple seats, a cushy Chesterfield sofa, and in the event of ever needing to watch something, a small TV.
Located in the Neukölln area bordering close to Kreuzberg, the location provides ample movement from one area to the next. A 10 minute stroll takes you to Hermannplatz, taking you to any number of locations from there, whether it be Kotbusser Tor, Tempelhof or to Rathaus Neukölln. A 10 minute bus ride, or a ~20ish minute walk takes you closer to the centre of Berlin via Hallesches Tor, closing the distance between yourself and many tourist spots. Needless to say, public transport is ample in Berlin and any one of the three stations within a 10 minute vicinity (U Südstern, U Schönleinstraße or U Hermannplatz), won’t put you out of your way anytime soon.
To summarise, staying at Luiz’s apartment was an overall, great experience, that I would certainly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
