We spent a week in Berlin at Dirk's apartment. Dirk was a fantastic host a was very welcoming and accommodating. The apartment itself is large and modern and spotlessly clean. There's a great little courtyard which is full of plants and gets lots of sun and a great place to have a beer at night. The bedroom is large and filled with light. It's on a busy street but the double glazing does a great job at cutting out the noise. We had a bathroom to ourselves which was also great. The apartment itself is in the middle of Prenzlauer Berg and very handy to lots of local restaurants, a great beer garden, trendy shops and the tram an the U2 station at Eberswalder Street.
