Intro: Surprised to me, 2 days before arrival, I got an email from Steffen to pick up the key at a totally different location, but luckily Steffen found a bakery across the street from the apartment for us to pick up the key. It saved us 30mins extra travel time & from lugging our heavy suitcases around town after 11hr flight.
Pros: His apartment was a good location, quiet residential/building, with convenient bakery, grocery store, and 5 mins to bus/subway station. Interior is very modern, stylish, clean, & cozy. The apartment is in brand-new condition. We really enjoyed lounging in the living-room w/ candles & wool throws were a cozy touch to the place, especially for our Winter visit. The apartment felt very spacious w/ lots of windows & good lighting, and separate seating areas in each space has a nice flow, not crowded.
Everything worked well, except for the slow drain in the shower & flimsy shower curtain that wouldn't keep the water from splashing onto the outside bathroom floor. We would loved to be able to use the patio as shown in the photo, but it was crowded w/ linen racks & piled of outdoor furnitures.
Steffen was very pleasant to communicate with and was prompt in his respond. Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Thank you for letting us use your apartment.
