We wanted to stay in this part of Berlin for our own reasons, and so this was an interesting option for us. The highlight for us, therefore, was the location, and unfortunately as we were there during the autumn and winter we were not able to make the most of the attractive garden terrace. We extended our stay past two months to five because of the location, and this was a mistake. The apartment would be much better for a short-term rental because, although it has been refurbished, it is quite basic, many of the items are old, the layout is rather unusual with two walk-through rooms, and the sound insulation is not good. The internet did not work consistently enough, and the flat was quite damp when we moved in. We got along fine for the most part with the hosts who live upstairs, but our expectations about the use of electricity and heating were different - this caused conflict and we ended up agreeing to pay extra, although the rental was all-inclusive. For future rentals this problem should be resolved because we understand that guests will have to pay a separate electricity bill.
