Gili was a fantastic host. He was there waiting for us right outside the front door when we arrived, and was ready and willing to answer all our questions about what events/festivals/nightclubs etc. to go to during that weekend we stayed over.

If you have any questions by text, his response time is immediate.

The kitchen is cosy, and the shower in the bathroom is small too, but the water pressure is strong (most important!) and so the bathroom is more than satisfactory.

The living/bedroom area is very spacious. I'd say the pic on Airbnb doesn't do it justice, and the bed is comfortable. Not sure how easily three big guys can fit in it, but Gili was more than happy to provide a foldout bed for the third person. :-)

The neighbourhood is peaceful, there are a few places to eat just nearby for a quick bite, and a supermarket just across the main road. There's also a nice Italian restaurant just around the corner from the apartment. The nearest station is Hermannplatz, and it's not more than a five-minute walk (the underground is very efficient by the way). From there you can make it to other key locations in Berlin, like Alexanderplatz or Museum Island in no time.

Good location, lovely host, great value for money. I'd definitely contact Gili again if/when I come back to Berlin!
