Location was good. Tram station really close to the house and we were able to reach the city center within 15-20 minutes. There’s a big shopping center on the next station with supermarkets. You have your own keys and you can enter and leave the house as you like.
Big spacious room. Comfortable and tidy. Towels and bed linen were provided. There is an extension cord in the closet. That was great. There’s cookware available in the “shared spaces” for all the hosts too. There’s a hair dryer too. Super good.
When it comes to the bathroom, we used the one that has a bath. It was not as clean as we expected and clearly the fees paid for the cleaning service do not reflect the reality of the bathroom. The sink we had was not the one of the picture. That one is from the other bathroom. Judith told us we could use the shower too. That was nice.
However, the room was great.
Overall, our stay was fine. We had direct communication with the hosts and they were polite. We had some misunderstandings before and after our arrival and much as we still do not agree with their point of view, we were able to actively solve them. That shows education and politeness on both sides.
The one negative point we would like to highlight is that, as we were on the first floor and there was someone (permanently) living upstairs, it was uncomfortable to go back and forth from the bedroom to the bathroom because he used the bathroom nextdoor which is also on the first floor. We suppose his room was over our room and as he kept pacing around, it made it awkward. That made us not feel total privacy. We understand that is not the hosts fault, just bad luck.
Summing up, we have stayed in other Airbnb in Berlin and, for us, it was better having our own privacy and not having to share with three other rooms, even if we had our own bathroom. Hearing noises from upstairs and downstairs can be consuming. We understand that is a preference of ours, but we recommend taking that into account before booking your stay in a possibly crowded house. Were we to want that, we would have stayed in a hostel for a lesser price, wouldn't we?
