The apartment was better than expected when we arrived. It is huge and the location is super easy for the tram and the trains. Kolwitzstrasse right up the street is a pretty neighborhood and restaurant walk.
The major problem was the parties in the building. On Thursday night, there was a very loud party next door until past 2am. They checked out the next day, but the next night there was a party downstairs with thumping music and loud yelling until past 2am.
OTA told me later I could have called their emergency number to tell them. It’s not what I thought “emergency” meant, but ok.
The important thing to know is that the rentals from OTA in this building are known as a party place by at least some people.
