Private parking behind building is a positive. Reasonable walk to public transportation but still a commute to city center. We never met our host Andreas-we were greeted by Mr. Schroeder who showed us our apt. and shared some useful travel information. Not sure if he was the building superintendent and was never told what his role was in regards to our rental. Bedding and linens were not clean and had a terrible odor. Bed pillows were smelly, bed linens had stains, holes, and hair. Floors were not clean, and smelled of stale cigarette smoke in apt. and building. Our apt was on the top 5th floor (5 full flights of stairs and no lighting at night)-Not handicapped accessible nor was tub/shower (high tub wall to step over, slippery, and no water pressure). Kitchen and apt. were dated and overall just got an unclean feel. Overall, this listing is overpriced for the value. Additional "Berlin tax" due when checking out.
