Overall, this Berlin apartment did not meet our expectations and disappointed us. I will start with the positive aspects. The location is fabulous - the major sights in Berlin are all within walking distance and the area is surrounded by wonderful cafes, the train station and so much to do. The apartment is quite spacious and we enjoyed the large bathtub. Maria communicated quite well, however she was out of town during our 7 day rental, and her friend did a nice job.
We had a number of issues. The major issues included the second bedroom sheets, covers, and mattress smelled very mildewed. The Internet service was marginal at best and really only worked in the entry hallway, as the modem was across the hall in another apartment.
Other issues: The master bedroom had 2 reading lamps, without bulbs, and were unable to get replacement bulbs. The reading light in the 2nd bedroom was too far from the outlets to be useable. The shower doors did not close properly. The TV remote control pretty much didn't work. There were virtually no supplies, including us having to buy our own toilet paper. Her friend brought over a coffee maker after we requested one. No microwave.
Based on the price point of this rental, I would have expected more.
