Place is very cute, felt like a writer in some romantic novel with the skylights and everything!
The neighborhood is a little questionable, seems like there are a lot of young artist types but also didn’t feel the safest at night. One night there was a person camped out in the stairwell leading up to the apartment, they didn’t bother me but I know that could frighten some travelers.
It is a little on the outskirts but quite close to two U-Bahn lines and the ring S bahn and the one that goes to BER, which made things better/easier.
Rainer was kind enough to grind me some extra hand towels when I asked, he was away in Frankfurt but said he’d bring them when he got back.
but when I asked for fresh sheets he told me that would be a 20€ fee, a bit pricey especially given the room itself wasn’t cheap. I thought that should be included especially since I stayed for an entire 9 days.
I then asked if I could get a new towel at least but never got a response so I went and bought one. So if you use the green one, you’re welcome! Haha
The other thing to note is that the wifi connection is very poor, I ended up going through 9GB of data over the course of my stay to make up for it. So this is definitely not the spot for working remotely. I don’t know if this is something Rainer could improve, in fairness I didn’t bring it up to him.
Upon checking out you have to take out the garbage etc, which didn’t bother me but just fyi.
Overall it’s a beautiful place but you don’t get much convenience or service, it feels more like you’re house sitting for a friend than paying for a nice place to stay.
Though Rainer was very nice when I did speak to him!
