We had a wonderful time in Berlin. The apartment is in a fab location and we enjoyed being able to access so many attractions on foot. The apartment itself is lovely. The terrace is spacious and the courtyard feels cooler because it’s shaded by the buildings which is lovely in the summer because it was HOT while we visited. The downsides are: there are no curtains in the apartment. This isn’t an issue in the communal spaces but in the bedrooms it is. The only covering is a sheer curtain more like a net which doesn’t have any light reducing qualities. I did ask the host”s management company if they could suggest anything and didn’t get a favourable response. We’d come away for my birthday and have young children at home so one of the things I was most looking forward to was sleeping in and relaxing. Without curtains this wasn’t possible. We had to drape towels to block out some light. Far from ideal. In addition, the house rules are very strict about noise. You can’t play music after 10pm or wear your shoes in the apartment. Considering the concerns about noise it’s surprising that the apartment has wooden flooring. A few more rugs or carpet would cushion some of the noise. I think the description of the property could be updated to make it clearer about this. All in all however it was a wonderful break. I wanted to give fair and accurate feedback. Thanks.
