Great area on edge of mitte with easy access to public transport and lots of bars/restaurants within walking distance. Bar Watt on corner of strassburger and metzer strasse has lovely staff and good vibe. It is smoking space but tables outside if that bothers you.

The apartment is beautifully designed with nice little stylish touches. I slept in both beds which were comfy. Didn't experience sauna as it was boiling hot when I was here so really a sauna was the last thing I needed.

Martina who does cleaning and looks after place was lovely. I spoke no German and she spoke no English but we got by.

Only problem for me was no washing machine or iron/ironing board. I assumed these things would be there, as had stayed in upstairs flat before which did have washer. Should have asked obviously. Nico who works from one of other apartments was very good with letting me use washer and iron but I really would have preferred the convenience of having them in flat. For a short stay would be fine but I was there for 2 months. Other things to note is that apartment is a little dark, although that might just be me as I like a lot of light, and kids upstairs can be a bit noisy. I also had a bit of an issue with a tile in shower which needed replaced but unfortunately this did not get done. I understand from Matthias who deals with communication this will be done next week.

The garden is great and very peaceful.

All in all a good stay in a beautiful space.
