The positives: Great location near Checkpoint Charlie. Very Large. Fantastic condition and very clean. Very good communication from the hosts and great instructions in the apartment. Use of the luggage room after leaving the apartment before heading for the airport later was gratefully recieved. The negatives: the price does not include city tax - which we have to pay in cash - nearly 90 Euros or the use of the washing machine and dryer - which due to our apparent excessive use was 126 Euros in cash. These items are normally included in all the airbnb prices we have been charged previously at other locations - or should be in our opinion - maybe I didn't read the small print before I booked? Another irritating aspect was the big brother red light bulb on the lounge wall which would illuminate brightly if our conversations exceeded 68 decibels for more then 10 minutes. Given that we had gone on a 2nd World War and Cold Trip history trip, this aspect of surveillance was particularly poignant and in the end quite funny to behold.
