“ There are really not words for how unique this experience has been. With 16 years of Berlin as a home, Greg really knows the ins and outs, and the randomness that makes any city special. You cannot find this type of privacy in such a fantastic, interesting neighborhood anywhere else. I was able... more ”

“ We stayed at Itowe in Friedrichshain for six nights. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable and our host, Greg, was accommodating and knowledgeable about the city. Friedrichshain is an arty, youthful, cultural centre with good nightlife and restaurant options. We had a great time! ”

“ Great apartment. Very comfortable. Greg is very friendly and accommodating. He provides a great breakfast as well. Only draw back was that there was no internet, but it wasn't much of a problem as East Berlin was too good to have time wasted online. Highly recommended. ”

“ Cool place, Host (Greg) was extremely helpful. Waist height shower was a bit weird but the location and setting more than made up for it. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Itowe gallery to any one. Brilliant for a couple as you get your own kitchen and bathroom but only pay hostel prices. ”

Description of Itowe Gallery
Double Room Shared Bath- Located in Friedrichshain this our most popular, luxurious room, has been described as guests as 'Shangri-La of the ghetto', in what was once a squat house, the atmosphere remains outside. Once inside our doors you will find a professionally decorated secure room with original art, the double bed, made up with high count cotton sheets, and quilts Breakfast is served in the cafe ITOWE directly below your room,an in spot for the locals we have a fascinating view of the street. The bathroom is fully renovated with bath tub. Shared only with your host Greg,which is used mostly for laundry, you will be a guest in his home, tho you may never see him although he is only a door knock away, an American southerner who has been living in Berlin over 15 years, is readily available to answer questions and offer you his southern hospitality This room is in the EAST PART OF BERLIN features a television, with DVD, wireless Internet for your laptop, washer & dryer services available for a small fee. and is one block away from the train that circles Berlin or the subway. The neighborhood is the most colorful in all of Berlin, the last of example of the rawness that was once Berlin this room is great for fun seekers or scene people. BESIDES ALL THAT we want you to feel as if you are a guest at the house of a old friend. WE'RE SORRY WE DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS; CASH ON ARRIVAL You may also need to know that Berlin is not a credit card or travelers check friendly town. Not even American Express is dependable, this has been a problem for other guests, and we felt that this should be noted.
