The good: The reviews and listing paint an accurate picture of the room. Moritz’s place is like the grown up version of that place you’d light up in back in college. Big, thriving plants, a balcony overlooking a busy street, a comfy bed, a little seating area, and the smell of my old headshop baked into the walls. Super central to Neukolln’s bars and restaurants, easy to get to the tourist attractions. I didn’t have a chance to meet the roomies but the vibe of the apartment was good. Moritz seems like a sweet guy and left some thoughtful touches around.
The bad: There was a bit of a road bump with check-in - when booking, you select a 2-hr window that may or may not work with Moritz’s schedule - but once that got smoothed out everything went easy. If you’re on a tight schedule, maybe look elsewhere. Germaphobes should also continue looking. This isn’t the type of apartment that will ever sparkle and I saw some mouse droppings in the hard to reach areas (to be fair, I didn’t see or hear any). Despite those two issues, I would book again.
