The flat is charming and in the perfect location – it is located next to the SBahn with a grocery store on the corner and plenty of lovely restaurants to explore close by.
Jan is a friendly host yet we were sad to encounter several issues staying there.
We were delayed checking in because the buzzer wasn’t working and the host did not respond to our messages. (The check in instructions indicated there is a doorman which is not true). The flat was not well cleaned and there were piles of dirty laundry “hidden” under blankets that left a musty smell. Personal items were not cleared so there was not enough spaces for our things. There were not enough pillows and towels – and the ones we were given are in desperate need to be replaced. Finally, Jan asked to enter the flat twice during the week to retrieve his personal belongings in the room where we were sleeping, which was inconvenient and felt intrusive.
A house manual with instructions would be super helpful, because despite these issues we enjoyed our stay and wanted to take care of this flat which is clearly their family’s home.
