Everything went smoothly. Martina greeted me as planned and gave me a comprehensive tour of the flat. A small repair was needed mid-way through my stay, which was carried out promptly.

The flat itself is fine for one, and would also be for a couple. It is very clean and bright with a balcony opening out to a quiet inner courtyard where it is pleasant to sit when it is sunny. The lighting is nice in the evening too. The equipment is comprehensive and well thought out (washing machine, iron, ironing board, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, TV, DVD player). There is lots of storage space for clothes and other items.

The neighbours were courteous and quiet. The soundproofing between flats and floors is excellent. The lift is quick, efficient and clean.

The location is good, although clearly suburban (dull) and not city centre (chic), so it is quiet rather than exciting. You won't be frequenting local bars and restaurants, but the local shops have everything needed for day-to-day and the U-Bahn connection to the city centre is only a couple of minutes walk away.
