The appartment’s location was very good. It was situated centrally and was easy to use transportation. Moreover the space was comfortable. On the other hand the main problems concerned:
1. Cleaning. There were many spots, mainly close to the entrance of the apartment, with dust, humidity and even spiders. In the smaller room on a chair, there were towels from the previous guest. At check-in there was only half a toilet paper. Near the beds (three bed positions), there was only one table lighter and that with no lamp. So we had to go buy one.
2. The entrance to the apartment from the outside staircase looks like a catacomb. It was narrow and steep so it was difficult to carry our luggage. We knew that there was no elevator or lift but the photograph of this entrance was only sent after the payment with the check-in instructions. It was not included in the photographs that are displayed on the apartment’s page on airbnb.
3. The French windows faced at a yard and only 3meters away there were offices. Nevertheless there were no curtains which impeded us from opening the grilles to get natural light in the apartment.
4. The most serious issue of all was humidity and the smell that resulted from it. In a small apartment such as this one the smell was very intense and disturbing and made our staying particularly difficult and especially sleeping. This issue seemed to be known judging from the fact that there was a small ventilation device. Its effectiveness though was minimal but its noise great. There was no previous orientation for this matter during the booking.
For any doubts there are relative photographs. I have used Airbnb services multiple times and I have stayed in Germany before without encountering similar problems.
