Pros:
+ Good location within Berlin: Metro (to Berlin Zoo) and "S-Bahn" (Ring) quite close. The area is very quiet. You can find a supermarked only a few minutes away.
+ Lutfi is a very nice host and was even open to discuss some points of critism regarding the appartement (see below).
+ Compared to other appartements, this appartement was quite cheap and I could rent it for a longer period.
+ The appartement was fully equipped with everything you need (iron, washing maschine and so on). And many, many DVDs, if you like to watch them :-).
+ The living room is nice and spacious (as you can see on the pictures).
Cons:
- The appertement was not as clean as I would expect from an Airbnb. However, Lutfi said he wants to improve this in the future, so hopefully this is not a big point in the future.
- The appartement has NO internet. However, someone in the house offers a "Vodafone home spot" which can be booked for 30 Euros per month and per device (or 5 Euros per day).
- The bathroom and the kitchen are unfortunately not so nice. The cabinets in the kitchen hang very crooked.
- The entrance to the house and the staircase are not clean and a bit run down.
- The TV does not receive TV channels. However, as I mentioned before there are plenty of DVDs.
- One of the neighbors likes very much to listen to loud music in the evening (until around 22:00).
