Norbert has taken great care to create a stylish, sparkling clean, home away from home. The apartment is pricey but your experience will go above and beyond the typical Airbnb. Upon arrival, Norbert carried my big suitcase up all the stairs, showed me how to operate all the appliances, and had stacked the fridge with coke, sparkling water, and orange juice. The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking implements, all the dishes you’d need, espresso and coffee maker, tea pot, sugar, vinegar, oil, salt/pepper, etc. So you can actually cook! There’s also laundry and a small but lovely balcony. The best personalized touch was that Norbert typed up a note in a vintage typewriter welcoming me to the apartment. A lot of thought and effort has clearly been placed into creating and maintaining this Airbnb. and as a fellow Airbnb host, I know how much work has gone into this and I appreciated all of it!
The stairs did not bother me at all, but one small note of caution for Americans: the fourth floor in Germany is actually the fifth floor in the US. (Germans count the ground floor as the zero floor).
