The location is great. Lots of things to see that are walkable and easy access to U-bahn. After checking in to see how the check in procedure was going to be we were told that nobody would be at the apartment to check us in. We needed to go to a different location to pick up the keys and check in. This location was about a 5 min. walk (each way) from the apartment and with luggage it was not very convenient. It would have been nice if this was disclosed at the time of booking. We were lucky that it had just stopped raining. There were some things broken at the apartment but when we brought them to the attention of the management they were taken care off immediately.
