I spent two weeks at Ben’s place and it was perfect; I can’t recommend it highly enough. The room is a comfortable size, and includes a cabinet shelf, desk, fully equipped TV stand and bed looking out onto the room’s personal deck. I spent quite a bit of time out on the deck, which has a small side table and a large couch, with an incredible peaceful ambiance as it is surrounded with trees and vines. The apartment itself is very nicely decorated and the kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. The neighborhood is ideal, quite and peaceful, yet very well connected with a supermarket right across the street. Ben was a great host and was very helpful with anything I needed. Great place to stay in Berlin!
