The apartment was great - really clean and well equipped. Unlike most Berlin apartments at this price range, the bed was great - really comfortable, didn't want to get out of it. Loved the decor too. The shower was AMAZING too. Only slight issue is that the shower curtain is insufficient to stop water getting out onto the floor - I had to sacrifice a couple of towels, dedicating them to soaking up the water. The magnets in the curtain lining is a nice idea but doesn't really work with such a shallow shower base.

Check in was simple and well explained.

Communication from the host could be a little passive-aggressive in my opinion. There was a problem with the heating and another with check-out, both of which I felt could have been dealt with in a less argumentative and emotive way.

I found the impersonal nature of the apartment appealing (I didn't want to feel like I was in someone else's house), but never signing off communications with a name is just a bit weird.

The 'black box' entertainment hard-drive thing is a little pointless as there is nothing on it. Wasn't bothered about watching TV though.

All in all I loved the apartment and would recommend it to anyone. I would definitely stay there again.
