The building and apartment are lovely and very comfortable; but way too many rules and regulations; 5 single spaced pages; which made it very difficult to relax. I kept worrying about what garbage to put in to which bin and then getting 'fined' and having to pay to have someone else do it. I should not have to worry about leaving a few dishes in the sink before leaving for the airport at 5am; why are we paying a cleaning fee? I felt like we were being watched all the time. I don't feel like the guests should have to pay the Berlin city tax; that should be included. We had to book the washing machine and drier for a day ahead, at a specific time. The bathrooms and showers are great. The TV did not work; but Nino was very responsive and did try and fix it, unsuccessfully. I understand the status of the building; but would not choose to stay here again
