About ten days before my arrival, Arnd informed me I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Kreuzberg apartment as there had been a leak and there wouldn’t be enough time to fix it. Luckily, I was immediately offered another apartment in Friedrichshain, near Karl-Marx-Allee. Although not as centrally located as the apartment I had originally booked, I was completely satisfied. Everything was very new and clean. Big windows, a large and comfortable sofa-bed, a modern and fully equipped kitchen and a huge bathroom with a great shower. The apartment could easily accommodate four people. The only downside of the Friedrichshain apartment is that it is located in a mostly residential area, which means there are very few things you can do within walking distance. On the other hand, the U Bahn can be accessed after a 400 meter walk and the neighborhood is incredibly safe.

Arnd and his brother were very attentive and professional ever since we started exchanging emails, and it was no different during our stay in Berlin. I strongly recommend booking one of their apartments if you are looking for a safe and practical experience.
