After a week in Berlin I have to say overall it was a positive experience at Max's place although there were some issues. The positives... Great location close to metro station, supermarket, great bars and restaurants. The apartment itself is very quiet and cozy even though it is a busy area. Perfect for two people could be a bit tight if it's anyone else. The negatives the Internet was pretty terrible it would randomly stop working all of a sudden and went it did work it was really slow. The shower was really bad, we were wondering when we arrived why there was a random bucket in the bathroom with soak towels but we soon found out that it was impossible to shower without the bathroom floor filling up with water. So every time you showered you had to use the soak towels to drain the water from the floor.... Something I don't want to have to be doing when I'm on vacation despite that the overall experience was positive
