Overall: clean, well located, exactly like the photos, host anonymity.
This apartment served as a great temporary home in Berlin. It is on the first floor of a great area near many clubs, cafes, bakeries and stores. It looks exactly as it is in the photos and is very clean. This Airbnb is more of a property run by several people, rather than a place where someone lives. Still awesome though and communication was good.
I was in touch with Max over the Airbnb chat and he was very responsive. He allowed my boyfriend to come to the apartment before the 3pm check in time, but then he was told to wait an hour sitting outside while two guys cleaned the place. This could be on us as well, but we would have preferred to be told to come later and have the chance to meet our host himself. One of the guys told my boyfriend the bikes were out back when they were in fact out in front of the bakery across the street and we had to message Max.
Other than these minor things we had no problems at all and the apartment was great.
My baggage didn’t come until the 6th night of being in Berlin and it was great that the apt had shampoo, soap, sunscreen, other toiletries, etc. It is also across the street from a convenient store and a bakery open super late.
We felt safe, cozy, well located and comfortable around the neighbors.
Thanks Max + friends!
