These apartments were built for self-sufficiency, which is great if you’re planning on staying here for over a week. However, in shorter stops in berlin, there are definitely better options to get more for your money. Seemed to be a hassle for the, admittedly very busy, gentleman running reception. Check in involved 20 minutes waiting in the rain whilst he tended to other customers and answered the phone before he could get to the door. An extra member of staff would make the world of difference. However, the apartment itself was in a good position, with enough to provide a comfortable welcome at the end of a day in the city.
