Clean room

The apartment isn't overly modern or luxurious, but it's clean and has the basic requirements for a self catering stay. Beds were comfortable, area is central and quiet, and was better value for 5 adults than a hotel. Wifi worked fine and check in easy. I would happily stay again.

There were lots of positives to this property. The host was very responsive when I messaged with queries, the beds were comfortable, it was only a 30 minute walk into the centre of Berlin and the apartment was light and airy. There were a few issues unfortunately. I didn’t research the area enough so when our children (aged 21, 19 & 13) went to the local shop on Saturday evening around 7pm, they encountered several people who were under the influence of drink and drugs, some of whom approached them, which was concerning and made us feel a bit apprehensive. When we googled the area we discovered that the area was known for drug taking. Having said that, we went out on Sunday evening and we didn’t witness anything. There was a lot of litter on the pavements which was a shame. The decor needs refreshing as the walls were marked and the bedroom door handle was broken. All of the double beds only had single duvets which wasn’t a massive issue and maybe is a European thing but we hadn’t never experienced this before. The shower took a long time to warm up and would go cold at times. The bathroom was quite cramped so for an apartment which holds up to a maximum of 12 people, it was quite small. I also didn’t realise that there wasn’t an oven at the apartment but again that was probably in the description which I missed. If you’re looking for an apartment which is cheap and cheerful but not special, then this ticks all the boxes
