The location is really ideal for a central Berlin base. Howdy replied very fast to arrange check in as well. However there were a few observations on my side:
- The host said at first it would be fine to check in at 14 and last minute moved back to 15h because of the cleaner availability.
- There is not shower holder so its hyper inconvenient to take a shower. He could easily invest 30~ euros to get that resolved. Many guests gave the same feedback 4 years ago.
- Mattress is firm and ok. However theres just 1 pillow and its horrible quality.
- The flat was half clean, from dust to old objects like batteries under the sofa for example.
In sum its a ok, bare minimum no frills flat. But the host could invest a little bit to make it more cozy as the title on airbnb says. I dont think anyone lives there so its a clearly a business - given that, I think its reasonable to invest a little bit in this flat.
