Place is functional, but not lovely. It was adequate for our overnight prior to a flight out. I know Maxvorstadt well and there are charming streets and places. This street isn’t one of them. Also, there are often security guards from the DB that stand around the entrance smoking. They are fine people but you should be aware of this as the odor is noticeable in the courtyard and entry. The photos are nicer than the place by about 20-25%. There is no living room- two bedrooms and a kitchen with a small seat in the entry foyer- check the photos. The kitchen is your social space. Alex is a fine host- very easy to communicate with.
