Place is beautiful - well decorated - and nice bathroom. But there are no real essentials in the kitchen like oil for cooking - pepper grinder was completely empty - the bed was so hard it felt like we were sleeping on the floor + I could feel the springs on the mattress. We are also young so can’t imagine what it would do to an older couple. The rest of the furniture is very nice though. The building itself and entryway is beautiful.
It was LOUD all day in the flat. You could literally hear people talking outside while on the 5th floor. Ambulances drive by non stop all day and night and would disturb us constantly as it echos through that street. I use to live in New York City and the apartment here was louder than any I had there. One of the windows is also partially broken so be very careful. Neighbor is also very loud from time to time late at night (maybe another Airbnb?)
The lock combination takes a little while to get down so thankfully they have a YouTube video for you. We were told to take the trash out at the end but no instructions on WHERE so I guess we ate the charge on that one. Laundry is around 6 euros to do and not in the flat itself.
Internet is not the one that is listed on the Airbnb page - but worked once we got new info from the host - so needs updating. Electricity was also out in the kitchen but that was probably from the storms they’ve been having in Berlin. Response time from the host to fix the internet issue was fast and prompt which I appreciated so we were able to cook breakfast.
For as much money as we paid, probably would have been better to get a different spot. We’ve spent much less money on far better airbnbs in Berlin. All in all, pass.
