+ Smooth & professional process, easy check-in & check-out
+ Great value for money
+ Clean & fully functional apartment, good location
+ Perfectly fast wifi
+ Very organized & regular communication with all information provided in a structured way
+ Provision of some basic ingredients in the kitchen to help get going :)
- Ground floor, you can hear sounds from the street
- Windows are covered, so either you keep them open for a view (difficult during winter/people can peep in) or you close them and might feel a bit boxed-in
- Some wear & tear, but nothing that disrupts your visit, also the company is very responsive and helpful in case of difficulties
- Seems to be managed by more of a professional company (StayBearlin) rather than private home-owners, which might take away from the charm, but makes up for that with efficiency - really not a matter of concern, more a matter of preference
- The house rules might come across as strict & exhaustive, but better to be clear from the start - consider taking pictures on check-in just to avoid any discussions (not that we had any, just a thought)
Overall a great option if you are looking for value for money. Not necessarily an apartment you want to stay in for long hours every day, but perfect for a couple who wish to have a base and spend their time mostly outdoors exploring Berlin!
