The flat is large and clean and correspondence/check-in with vendor was fine. Flat location is also fine.Kitchen was quite nice and well equipped. Bathroom was old and dated but clean and did the job. However, in my opinion the major failing with this apartment is the decor and furniture in lounge and bedrooms. It was not at all cosy or a relaxing place to stay, had the feeling of a large space with random old furniture thrown together to fill the gaps. Decor was extremely tired. Such a shame as with a little effort/expense this could be a nice place. Also only one 3 seat sofa for a flat that sleeps 6.... and TV doesnt work (this was known prior to stay). Whilst our stay was OK i would not book this flat again or recommend to others. Berlin has many other options (One of the flat selling points is u-bahn proximity but the Birkenstrasse u-bahn southbound platform was non-operational due to extended building work which meant an extra 10 min walk from Turnstrasse or Westhaven.) Turnstrasse is however closee to Arminius Markethalle which is great.
