Disappointed for the price, a hotel last minute would have been better choice! ** NOTE: We are a couple travelling on a 10 month sabbatical and this is our 15th apartment rented on our travels. We chose apartments because we want the conveniences of home so please read with this in mind, experience and our expectations of renting this place. ** The place is designed very well and would be ideal for a group of friends coming to stay with the concept of going out to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and having enough beds and physical space AND to only sleep here. The Positives: The newly renovated place is open, spacious, new with great floors, beds and linen. Amazing view as it is located right on the river. Great location. Disappointment & comments: Arthur showed us his ‘new’ place and was only missing a wash machine and new vacuum. However it was lacking A LOT more – only choose this place IF you are short stay and eating out and enjoying Berlin’s night life. This is NOT an apartment for long stay, cooking, family etc. and therefore plan Berlin in advance to find other airbnb more suitable with cheaper price if you want an Airbnb for such (I booked here as last minute weekend get away). We expressed our requests and disappointment within the first hour to the host/owner, Arthur as listed below. Arthur’s repeated answer was merely to text “Sorry” which did NOT fix or address our concerns, save for to drop off a new toaster on Monday late afternoon (we left Tuesday morning). You cannot cook here there is only 3 pots, one frying pan and plates and cutlery. No bowls, dishes for oven, serving bowls for salad, toaster, can openers, cork screw, no tools for cooking, strainer, etc. Lacking mostly everything an apartment listed with ‘essentials’ should have & that we have experienced in ALL 14 other places. Bathoom – the new shower has no glass door thus water sprays all over toilet, no cover on drain, no soap, shampoo, body wash. We booked because Arthur listed “Essentials & shampoo” - FORGET it – when I mentioned to him, I was given “sorry” text again and had to go buy stuff. Perhaps a Holiday Inn hotel would have been better as I didn’t bring stuff for one weekend here. Arthur as a host should have stayed for at least one week in his new place and tried to live here. What he is selling is ‘new and view’ and that’s what you get. There are a number of amazing hosts and Airbnb places to choose from and this one is missing the mark on why people choose an apartment over a hotel. I wish I had chosen a hotel instead. NOTE TO ARTHUR: Next guests should be given a discount and/or you should address these issues. It’s ok to have a ‘new place’ that is missing some things but customers feel disappointed when you advertise ‘everything’...
