this is an extremely no frills accommodation. meets only the most basic needs. did not provide shampoo (contrary to listing) or sufficient toilet paper, and would not replenish. not equipped with smoke detectors per the listing. within the first two hours after arrival, we found and killed about 10 mosquitoes- they were everywhere! when we expressed concern to the host and management office, we were told to "expect them because they are a seasonal animal". during the heatwave, they provided only 1 fan for the 3 bedroom flat. after much. begging, we were provided with a second. it was quite dusty. the washing machine smelled terrible. we did do a few loads of laundry to get us to the end of our trip, and more than one item came out of the washer with new darker stains (maybe rust?).
the location is EXTREMELY convenient to many sights. it was great being so close to Brandenburg gate and tiergarten park. Hanz is very responsive to messages but is not the one who manages the apartment when you're there.
