We were welcomed by Jose's friend Carlos. He was very nice and welcoming. The apartment is exactly as described and the best thing that we like about it is the central location and practicality to go around Berlin (U2 train stations and bus stops are literally just minutes away from the apartment). Alexander Platz and Postdamer Platz for example, are only within walking distance and you can actually see the radio tower from the balcony. The apartment is clean and tidy, well equipped. Jose is also very helpful and easy to be contacted. Overall, would recommend Jose's place and would for sure stay here again next time I'm in Berlin
