I am very torn writing this review. YES, this apartment is located in a prime location and that is about it!!! The host severely lacks communication. I messaged him several times before our arrival to find out how to get the keys and he NEVER responded so I had to call him. To my surprise he did answer but told me he was busy and would get me the instructions. I asked him to please send them that night because we were departing for Berlin in the morning and was not sure if I would have wi-fi, he agreed but I did not receive them until 5am the next morning and it was to locate the keys at a specific location (we never met him or anyone). Upon entering the apartment bldg of 24 floors only ONE elevator worked (yes, that is out of his control), we go up to the apartment and you could immediately tell the place lacked any attention and/or cleaning. We stayed for 5 days and were given one towel a piece and 2 rolls of toilet paper. The shower head holder was broken, the fridge needed to be defrosted, the washer was broken, the carpet had hair matted in it, I found toenail clippings on the floor. I messaged him asking a question within the first 10 minutes of arrival and again, NEVER received a response. The curtains do not block out any sunlight in the morning and it does get a little stuffy so I was thankful for the fan. There's a cd player if you still carry around discs (lol). The place is located 2 blocks from Museum Island, on the other side of the train station there is nice shopping and eateries, you are about an 8 minute walk to Alexander Platz, one block from the Berlin Dungeon and Sea Life, and about 5 minute walk to the TV tower. So if you are looking for a place to just lay your head until the sun wakes you up and to take a shower with one hand... this is your spot!!!
