Rainer's place is in a fantastic location! It was very easy to get around to tourist sites and great restaurants (including vegan restaurants!). Rainer was so responsive, helpful, and accommodating. His apartment was comfortable and had a lot of lovely touches of home (fun lamps, photos, and practical things like extension cords). The washer was very handy and there was space to leave the drying rack up. There was no microwave but this wasn't an issue for me (the stove works great). The construction did not bother me at all (great windows). I highly recommend staying at Rainer's apartment!
