The best way to describe the flat is “institutional”. The building and the unit remind me of a dorm in a large state owned university. The bedrooms are large and spacious but EVERYTHING is in desperate need of updating, renovation and upgrading. The beds are hard and the pillows uncomfortable. We were told that check in was at three but in our arrival day just as we landed we learned we had to be there at 2 because the office was closing early. Also don’t be fooled the check in office is not “right next door” it is a few blocks away. The unit only had on small facial type soap in the bathroom for 4 people to use and shower over 3 days. The kitchen is not “fully stocked” and what is there is cheap and old. The bathroom is very out dated although the water pressure and temperature are very good. I definitely felt like I was staying in “East Berlin”… sparse and with no luxury. There are a lot of restaurants and you can definitely walk to most attractions. Not worth the cost.
