This apartment is absolutely beautiful but there are a few drawbacks. The most startling is the fact that you are in plain sight of at last 8 apartment windows while showering and there is no option to obscure that very large window. Those who are not very comfortable being on display would probably not enjoy this in the least. The heat and window shades seem to be app controlled but there is no information on how to use them. At midnight they automatically close, and it is pitch black until they reopen in the morning. Lastly if you plan to see the city you must use the train system as the walk is about an hour downtown and at night can lead you through some unlit parks and paths that I normally wouldn’t take even in my own city. Very clean and responsive host, though. We enjoyed our time in Berlin.
