Alex’s parents (aka Rod Rodman) are wonderful, nice people whom are very attentive and willing to help you with any requests.
Very clean flat, kitchen meets the bare minimum for cookware but bring a sharp knife if you cook your own meals and salt and pepper.
The description of the flat makes it seem much larger than it is. It’s truly a small studio apartment that has a wall put up between the kitchen area and bed. No separate working space or living room area (there’s a sofa in the kitchen area that doesn’t even face the small, not large, older model flat screen mounted to the bedside wall over the desk that is crammed into the walkway around the bed. All cheap ikea furniture. Great Location if you’re into touristic shopping around the TV tower but neighbors and community is much like a facility for the elderly. Little character, culture or local owned businesses.
Oh, and the Hausmeister is quite rude on his power trip.
Small washer in the decent sized bathroom is perfect for one person doing laundry.
Cannot fathom three people staying in the flat for more than a couple of nights.
The entrance corridor is a ton of wasted space.
The rent for a month even at discounted rate is about 3-4x‘s what the fair market rate should be.
And communication with Alex back in the States is rough at best. He attempted to end my reservation 7 days early so he could let his friends use the flat instead but lied about it and lied to Airbnb. Appears I’m not the first person to have a bad experience by him and likely won’t be the last.
