I do not recommend this place in the current state for €65 a night.
We made reservations to stay a week but with the great help of AirBNB's customer support we could stay at another place.
We did not meet Pia in person, we picked up the key in restaurant 'Dicker Engel' downstairs of the appartment building.
Why we left the appartment after 4 nights:
The Ikea bed is very hard, the Ikea mattress is so thin that you can feel the slatted base underneath. It hurts our backs.
The showerdrain is clogged. You have to stop the rainshower several times otherwise it floods the bathroom floor.
We received one (old) Primark towel each for a whole (hot summer) week.
Pia did not respond to our messages and phone calls when we asked to fix the showerdrain and get more towels.
Every morning at 06:45 constructionwork started 10m from our bedroom windows so sleeping in wasn't possible.
Pay attention to the stairs, you have to walk 75 high stairsteps up/down.
The whole feeling of the appartment is very very basic. Everything is from Ikea or Primark (which is fine) but the cheapest kind you can get there.
The dinnertable is a wooden plank on 2 stands so you can't sit behind it because of the stands.
There is just enough (heavy used) cutlery and tableware for 2 people. You need to bring your own kitchentowels. There is almost no decoration on the walls. It does not feel cosy and a nice place to celebrate a holiday.
Pro's: the neighbourhood is quiet (besides the constructionwork), the U-bahn is very nearby and there is a Edeka supermarket 4min walk.
To make this a good place to stay with value for money we recommend to fix the showerdrain and buy/replace:
- innerspring mattress instead of foam
- sturdier bedroom pillows
- cutlery set with sharp knives
- more cups and glasses
- more decoration on the walls
- more towels
- normal dinnertable that seats four people
