We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Berlin and the use of Rene's wonderful flat. The unit is as described and in a very cool neighborhood. We had a group of four, myself, my wife and my daughter and her boyfriend. Petra was a great host who met us upon our arrival and gave a great introduction to the flat, the city and other destinations that we might want to see. We highly recommend this listing. It was our second Airbnb stay and was wonderful.

The neighborhood was unique, with many restaurants, bars and store options. At Petra's recommendation, we visited Markt Halle Neun (http://www.markthalleneun.de/) several times. It is open during the day on several days of the week and has a special Thursday night market. There were tons of food, wine, beer and spirits vendors and just was a wonderful atmosphere. We shared a table with two different groups and had a lively conversation, even with a slight language difference. We highly recommend visiting the market during your visit.

Petra was of great assistance and upon checking in checked the hot water to make sure it was on as the flat had been vacant for a few days. After noticing that the hot water did not come on immediately, she made a few phones call and the hot water was fully functioning with an hour or two. Great service and attention to detail.

The kitchen setup was awesome, with a double sink AND a dishwasher. Spices, etc. are provided and we ended up cooking in several times during our stay.

Again, we highly recommend Rene's flat without any reservations. Bryan & Maureen
