The first thing to note is this place is noisy. And I mean NOISY!
If you are looking for a quiet yet centrally located placed in Berlin this is NOT it. The apartment is comfortable, and yes it’s within easy striking distance of all the great sites of Berlin. However, it is directly above multiple bars and restaurants (on both sides of the street) with the noise and partying continuing late into the night without respite. This occurs every day, weekdays and weekends.
The apartment is reasonably well furnished and the bedrooms are spacious and bright. There’s a great little seating area between the 2 bedrooms to sit and have a morning coffee. However, the kitchen is quite basic and the bathroom… well, it feels like something out of 1980’s Soviet-era Berlin. The wobbly/broken shower head, broken and degrading bathroom cabinet and various holes drilled in the tiles didn’t help… and certainly not what you expect of a place that cost this much.
The apartment block itself is hideous. The courtyard at the back of the building is full of rubbish, with overflowing trash cans everywhere. The entrance to the apartments was filthy, with numerous cigarette butts and other trash strewn around.
The ‘parking’ is an open gravel car park with zero security and with rubbish and broken glass everywhere. They do not guarantee you a parking space - even if you have booked in advance. And for all that they charge you €15 per day :-(
In short, this Airbnb is ‘ok’ at best, but in truth it is far below average - and for the high price charged it really is not good value at all.
