This rental was all I could ever want. First of all it is very large, with not only two full-size bedrooms with full-size beds, but a living room with a large couch, an unusually large kitchen, an enormous full bath with a large tub and separate shower, a smaller half-bathroom, and a long hallway. The flat is outfitted with every modern convenience in great working order — refrigerator, washing machine, dishwater, stove and oven, tankless water heater, wifi, speakers you can plug a device into to play music, and the previously mentioned large bathroom. As for the aesthetics, everything was very pleasant, almost everything all new, high quality (especially the kitchen cabinets) and most likely from IKEA. I slept in the bedroom in the back of the flat, as it seemed more like the “guest bedroom” and was also way from the street, and the bed there was very comfortable. That room also has generously closets. The flat has many typical German-style windows, all of which open, both at the top and full sideways like doors, so it’s possible to get lovely fresh air. On two days of my stay it was extremely hot (31 C, nearly 90 F) and the flat remained cool, so either there is AC or the building remains naturally cool. I would imagine it is also snug in winter. As for cleanliness, the entire flat was cleaned the day I arrived, floors, kitchen, bed sheets, bathroom, etc. To get into the particulars of my visit, I will start by saying I arrived from a long trip (from Atlanta) in late afternoon on a Saturday, after local friends of mine had picked me up from the airport and taken me to lunch. I went into the shop just below the apartment and asked for the key to the flat. After a minute or two of confusion (apparently the key had recently been returned and wasn’t in the place at the counter where it was supposed to be), I was given the key without any fuss. From then on there wasn’t a hiccup. I bought groceries and drinks and kept them in the fridge, cooked on the store, warmed up bread in the oven, washed dishes in the sink, did my laundry several times, took showers and baths, used the wifi, plugged by iPad into the speakers. I had no trouble getting in or out of the two doors needed to get in or out (street door and flat door). There was no more noise in the flat than one would expect in the city, especially after 11 pm (23:00), and the noise could mostly only be heard in the front bedroom and the living room. The one night things were particularly loud was the last night I stayed there, which was a Saturday and the night of a big football (soccer) match, which was being watched a lot of bars, restaurants and little shops nearby, so people were getting excited and yelling every so often.
