Unfortunately our experience in this apartment didn’t go as well as wished.
We booked this apartment specifically to enjoy the beautiful balcony and Berlin’s summer, to have some of the breakfasts on the balcony and not to feel the pressure of being outside the apartment all the time. When we got to the apartment we noticed the building is under construction, there is no access to the balcony and the whole apartment was very dark (except the kitchen area but there’s no seating in there).
The construction also brought extensive noise in the mornings (starting from 7am which according to the host is completely normal).
Also the dishwasher was out of order.
Aside from that (as most people might not be balcony or light obsessed :) we could only maybe point out one issue. A lot of people had written that this apartment is super quiet which is true if we talk about noise coming from the street. It’s pretty much nonexistent! However, since it’s an old building then if anybody is walking in the hallway or the kids upstairs wake up (again, sometimes at 6am) you can hear a lot, even talking sometimes. So if you’re a light sleeper maybe that’s not the best place.
Now there were a lot of nice touches as well. The apartment is comfortable and feels cozy. Most of the answers from the host were very friendly.
If the balcony and silence (at least until 8am or so) wouldn’t have been important to us, it would have been a great place to stay. So it’s subjective. :)
