Jörg was very nice and extremely accommodating of me on more than one occasion. I had plans to stay with a friend of a friend in Berlin which fell through the night before I was to arrive. I was very stressed in hoping I could secure a place in time. Jörg was not only the first to accept my request, but let me check-in early as I had taken the overnight train from Vienna (without sleeping) and arrived in Berlin around noon--well before the 5pm check-in. Also, on the day I was to check-out, I was feeling very under the weather. My flight out wasn't until 9pm and originally I planned to see more of the city but was feeling very under the weather. I wanted instead to get more rest before flying again, and thus I offered to pay Jörg for an extra night so that I wouldn't have to check-out at 10am. He let me stay until 7pm for a bit less than a full night would cost. I am really grateful for him accommodating me.

As for the flat, it's in a great area close to the U-bahn. It's what a lot of locals call a "hipster" neighborhood due to it's restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and youth culture. It's nice that there are gender separated bathrooms. The shower has great temperature and pressure and there are heaters in the rooms for when it's cold. The beds are also more comfortable than many others I've been on lately. My only complaint is that the listing shows that there is a washer and dryer on the premises when there in fact is not. I had actually found the place initially because that was part of my criteria as I had a lot of dirty clothes at this point and wanted to wash them. Jörg did however give me directions to a laundromat close by.

keep in mind, also, that you will have to pay a small german tax when you arrive as well as for linens and towels should you need them.

Berlin is amazing. I hope to come back (feeling better) and would stay here again.
