This is a really nice big room, with a large private bathroom and almost everything you might need. The TV worked well, and it was nice to be able to use the kitchen. The flat is in a lovely area, within walking distance of the Berlin Buch Campus where I was working, and with nice wooded areas nearby and shops and cafes within an easy walk or bus journey. The motorway looks like it would be noisy as it is quite close, but actually there is a high wall protecting this residential area from the noise so it was fine.
I had two problems, both hopefully solvable by the host: first that the wifi didn't work properly - at first it wasn't switched on so I couldn't connect, but Herbert fixed this, but later I was connected to the network but it wasn't connected to the internet (I didn't have time to ask for this to be fixed, so I just made do with mobile internet). The second is that the listing contains several extra conditions and rules that make it seem less friendly, whereas in person Herbert was nice enough. I especially didn't like the fact that towels and soap were not provided by default, but could be added for an extra cash fee of 2 euros. Why not just add the 2 euros to the cleaning fee and avoid all the hassle? It is too much trouble to carry around a wet towel, and every other Airbnb I have ever stayed in has understood this and provided a towel. Soap also wasn't provided until I asked. But if these two things could be changed, I would recommend this place to travellers wanting to stay in the area.
