I rely a lot on the experiences and comments of the previous tenants of a property on AirBnB before I book, therefore I will write this as a plus and minus post.
PlusThe flat is superbly located and is near excellent public transport and the various important places in Berlin. The neighbourhood is safe and there are plenty of cafes around. Lidl is just 350 m and this one has really friendly staff unlike some of the others in the city. The house is fitted with all things one needs on a holiday such as a washing machine with dryer, hair driers, cooking utensils and some basics like cooking oil, salt and sugar. It is very compact and has a lift in the building. It is good for a small family or three adults. Vladimir was responsive and we really enjoyed out stay and plan to definitely return.
A special note to say thank you to the host for letting us check out late. We had a delay in our next destination and he kindly allowed us to check out later than the time.
Minus. The entry into the flat was not that good with the housekeeper's daughter not knowing either English or German and was in a great rush to leave without giving any information at all. The building has very strict rules around garbage segregation that need to be explained and we had to figure most of it out ourselves. Another suggestion is to have the wifi name and password on a prominent sheet on the table like most other places do so that one does not have to hunt for it.
