The apartment was a good size with a nice balcony. It is fairly basic but acceptable for the price. The location for us was great - right next to the train station meant you can be anywhere in Berlin pretty quickly. We did find that a bit more attention to detail would lift the whole apartment - e.g. better kitchenware, nice towels in the bathroom and tea towels. The door lock was a bit broken but the host respondly quickly and effectively to address this issue and provide a solution. Their communication overall was very effective despite our language barriers. Overall it suited our purposes despite some shortcomings.
