Communication with host:
Excellent right from inquiry to booking to checkin and checkout
Checkin:
Excellent. Franz welcomed us and showed us around. We had heavy luggage and we could easily move it into the apartment which is in the first floor
Apartment:
Okay. Spacious. No doors between any rooms including bathroom and toilet. Somewhat dark even with curtains open. Not much privacy with curtains open. No fan or A/C, but you don't need it as the apartment is cool and comfortable
Kitchen:
Good. Has everything except microwave
Toilet:
Okay. No door just a curtain. Somewhat dark with one of two lights not working
Bathroom:
Okay. No door just a curtain. Shower runs out of hot water quickly
Bed:
Good. Pillows a little too soft
Value:
Excellent. You could pay double staying in the city center
Neighborhood:
Excellent. Lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Well connected by public transportation. Not infested with tourists which is a huge plus. Close to Tegel airport. Safe
Overall:
The apartment is functional and met our basic needs. With a little investment the host could turn this into an excellent place to stay
