Michał is a great host. A very solid guy, incredibly friendly, very helpful. The place itself is not a luxury experience, and be aware that it's near the red-light district. However, it's clean, practical, and it's right by a bunch of great cafes (the very fashionable 169 West is less than 60 seconds from the driveway), restaurants, and squares (check out the Brupbacherplatz and also the one at the intersection of Zurlindenstrasse & Bertastrasse). The Fritschiwiese is also a very nice park nearby where people play with their kids and lie in the sun when it's sunny outside.
