We stayed a weekend at Frank’s place and it honestly wasn't the best experience. The best there is to say about it was the location - downtown and easy to access with public transportation.
Here are the things that didn't live up to our expectations:
- The apartment wasn’t very clean at all. Hardly anything in the kitchen was clean and it was actually quite disgusting to use. Besides this, a lot of things were broken or at least not working properly – including the toilet which wouldn’t flush half of the times….. It’s quite clear that this is not an apartment where anybody lives but is only used for housing tourists.
- Frank says (here on Airbnb) that you can rent bikes from him when staying at his place. However, he didn’t have any bikes the weekend we were there.
- Frank consistently didn’t answer our messages which was quite annoying.
- On the last day we were there Frank suddenly wanted us out of the apartment with only 1,5 hours warning. This meant we had to spend a lot of time and money getting our luggage stored somewhere else for the whole last day in Berlin.
We really, really don’t understand how Franks place can have so good reviews (other than the location). We would not stay there again.
