Pro:
- Great location. Engelbecken is beautiful, and only a block away. Area itself is quiet, but you're right between Kottbusser Tor and Jannowitz Brücke so never more than a few minutes from the action.
- Adding another point for the location, for emphasis. Drug store, supermarkets, various shops on the same block, easy access to the U8.
- Nice spacious unit. Huge windows, nice courtyard view. Not the same as the photos but still nice. Great natural light.
- Check in/check out was a breeze.
Con:
- Laundry is unreliable. Only two machines and one dryer for the whole building, no shared detergent, and only available to guests between 14:00 - 22:00.
- Air conditioning (central AC? some panel in the bathroom) was incredibly loud. Not just loud, like chaotic-loud. Constantly swapping between humming, thumping, clunking, so hard to enjoy as white noise.
Overall, the nice surprises more than made up for the negative ones. Happy with my stay, would definitely consider for another trip.
