I was staying in Berlin for a month for work, so found this central location very useful for fitting in tourism and social activities at the last minute around my work time. Aside from he S Bahn gently rumbling under the building every so often it is a quiet area and I felt very safe walking around at any time.
The apartment building area is gated too which helped add peace of mind at night.
The apartment was a little tired compared to the photos, the garden is now woodchip with plants, and the sun lounger was not available, I had to request one from the host which was given a few days later.
The shower was great to use initially but has an odd drain system that gets easily clogged and I ended up having to mop standing water from the whole bathroom floor and requesting drain unclogger from the host. This is not something I expect to do when paying over €3000 for a month-long stay but being a nice and responsible guest I did it anyway. I was surprised they didn't offer to do it for me or even ask look at it before I attempted to fix.
The kitchen is stylish but cooking utensils are basic, a microwave would have been helpful. The store cupboard had some basics left by previous guests thst were so old they were unusable. There was no oil or pepper, I had to buy this myself, even though it days these items are included. I left them there too, you're welcome.
The WiFi password on the app needs updating but it was correct in the apartment paperwork on site.
The bed seems to have a book propping it up in the middle... very strange. Mattress was comfy.
There was a faint smell of smoke despite it being a no smoking apartment, I couldn't place it but it remained after I washed the bedding so maybe it is just embedded in the furniture.
Overall I had a pleasant stay but I don't feel the lux description is accurate and am now in a resolution centre dispute with the host which has soured the whole experience.
