This is a very spacious, wonderful flat in a very desirable location. Sofas and bed are comfortable, the washer/drier is good, and the area is both lovely and well-connected, plus near all the shops. However, there were some problems which would need attention. One is the lack of curtains in all but one room - we had to improvise our own with sheets, for privacy and to keep out the fierce sun (it was extremely hot in Berlin). Then there is a notable scarcity of lamps, both at ground/desk level and ceilings: the ceiling ones were either feeble or faulty. The host improved the situation by giving us a couple of lamps, which were very welcome, though the place remained somehow depressing when it got dark in the evenings. The TV never worked, despite the host's repeated attempts with it. Finally, the beautiful and fashionable bare-floorboards floors in the building meant that every step taken by people upstairs reverberated to us and this caused a lot of stress. Overall, this is a potentially beautiful space which already offers a lot, but it would need these alterations for a truly comfortable stay.
