The location of the apartment couldn't be better, a quick walk to Friedrichshain Park or Alexanderplatz, the tram right in front of the building and a supermarket in the main building.
Tucked away in on the top floor of an office building in a quiet backyard, outside noise is not an issue.
All units in the building seem to be offices or Holiday33 apartments, no neighbors above or below. There is a bakery on the ground floor of the building so be prepared to smell fresh bread in the morning, not the worst thing in the world.
As far as the apartment goes, I expected a bit more but I can't say that I was disappointed.
A few notes that might be relevant though.
- no blackout curtains, it is impossible to darken the rooms.
- extension cords everywhere, at least half a dozen in the living room and kitchen alone.
- the layout of the bathroom is a bit unfortunate, the room feels very small.
- the showerhead is way too small, can't take a good shower.
- The heating system works very well.
- Great communication with the host.
- Easy self-check-in and check-out
- Fully equipped kitchen
- The entire apartment was very (!) clean, spotless!
- Comfortable beds
