Kemal's place is very clean and largely as advertised. It's situated near a canal in Kreuzberg, which is very cool, though it is also near a firehouse and can be a bit noisy. The main issue I had was with communication, especially around my request for a fan, during my stay, which occurred during one of the hottest weeks on record. Kemal's assistant (?) Ferat, who is a nice guy, eventually sorted it out, but I could have used a little more help navigating the apartment and what it offered from the get go. (I also asked for, but never got a second bath towel, which did not seem like such a big deal to me.) Initially, I had trouble negotiating new cell phone and German phone numbers, so maybe they just thought I was not worth the trouble.
