It isn't a huge deal because it was in the same building and the apartment was nice, but the apartment we were in was not quite the same as the photos in the listing. There is a neighbor who has posted a passive aggressive note (photo included), and they got upset that we came in one morning with our shoes on and were "too loud" in the staircase. It wasn't a huge deal but did make it harder to feel comfortable in the space (worried about even laughing too loud), but the perks of the apartment outweighed this for us. I do think if you are looking for a place where you can be a little louder, this is not the accommodation for you.

The apartment is beautiful - high ceilings, great location, and the building has a cool history. It was a great place to stay in Berlin and the host was friendly. Several restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. The apartment itself also left us coffee and we had all the cookware needed to cook a quick breakfast. The balcony is also quite nice when the weather permits. This was a perfect option for my friends and my partner and I because it is large enough for us to all have our own space, while also having a comfortable common area for us to hang out.

Additional bedsheets were not available for the sofa bed (if needed)

Proximity to Metro station, Very easy access to the apartment (keys), cleanliness, large apartment suitable for our group, availability of large dining table, kitchen appliances, balcony.

No black-out curtains in bedrooms (only very sheer magenta-colored curtains) made it hard to sleep after 5am when the sun came up, no air conditioning and 29 degrees during the day meant it was hard to sleep despite 2 fans available in each bedroom, washer and dryer are coin-operated (only accepts €2 coins) on a timer that does not allow you to use both the washer and the dryer at the same time. On the shortest setting, the washer was €4 a load and the dryer was €6 and clothes still needed to be hung overnight to finish drying. Oh, and you can only use them between 8am-5pm. We were grateful to have the machines in the flat, but it was more expensive and effortful than anticipated. Hanging a few posters around the apartment and a rug or two in the living and bedrooms would make the place feel much more welcoming and finished.

Very clean, beautiful apartment in a gorgeous pre-war building, very good location close to u-Bahn, safe storage for luggage until room was ready and before our flight on day of check-out, plenty of cotton sheets and towels, 3 generously sized bedrooms, plenty of restaurants within 10 minute walk, very helpful host who was available via the booking.com message service and clearly wants guests to enjoy their stay despite the lengthy rules and reportedly cranky neighbor (we didn’t hear from the neighbor during our stay but we were very quiet)

Because I hadn't received any notice about pre-registration, I arrived at the property and couldn't get in. But after I phoned the hosts, they sent me instructions on finding the keys and asked me to fill in the online form after I got into the flat. Once in, I I let the hosts know I was having problems filling in the form electronically. There followed some confusion about which forms I was to fill, and a misunderstanding about scheduling the use of the washing machine. But a manager did phone to reassure me that I had in fact filled in the right form, so all was well.

Just want to point out that the booking.com pictures show an apartment with a wood panelled ceiling and lovely balustrade staircase. Expectations were not met as this wasn’t the apartment we were given. We maintained the rules around noise level however we had a neighbour downstairs visit us and complain in an unpleasant manner about the noise.

The apartment was lovely, spacious well equipped and in a great location.

excessive house rules revealed after booking, together with additional costs for laundry. Poorly worded forms to sign within an hour after arriving and threats of more costs if not completed on time. No warning of the noise of U-Bahn in appt 11c throughout the night (U-Bahn vent located just outside the building). No hot water on one morning.

Location was good, property had space and was clean and light

Fridge/freezer not working. No TV signal. Regular buzzing of door entry from people trying to get access to the building.

Space. Size of property. Response of hosts before arrival and on arrival day.

This very spacious high quality 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment with a nice courtyard-facing balcony is strongly recommended for 2 couples/4 adults. It is part of a meticulously renovated landmark building from the late 18th century, centrally situated at the end of the Friedrichstrasse (of which some sections have recently been turned into car-free zones) near Checkpoint Charlie and the Konzerthaus. We very much enjoyed our stay here and look forward to our next visit.

3 flights of stairs, no lift

Beautiful place, quite historic courtyard building 3 blocks from the underground. The photos show the true rooms, no surprises.

I felt like there was a lot of fine print with the rules and it was hard to relax. Everything had a rule.

Apartment was big and had everything

Stayed in November 2021

Most of the photos were of a completely different apartment. Ours was accessible by a small back staircase of 50 steps and not that shown in photos. There are a lot of rules - two pages -which are not very friendly. There is also what appears to be a motion detecting camera inside the apartment which flashes whenever you arrive or leave. An authentic GDR touch… The flat is nice enough - I do not understand why the owners cannot use genuine photos.

Location

Stayed in October 2021

Appartment was OK - but the beds/linnen were not great. There was a weird lightbulb telling us the airquality was bad and soundlevel was too high. Lightbulb was even switched on when we arrived in the appartment - so not sure how the soundlevel could be too loud? Turns out the neighbor is extremely sensitive to sound. Even just arriving in the evening having a normal conversation was considered noise. Price also ended up quite high in the end for an appartment, because of a lot of extra expenses.

Nice location.

The laundry costs 2 Euro per 20 minutes and accept 2 Euro coin only. We have to collect many 2 Euro coins for a laundry process, 1 hours and 16 minutes which requires 4 2-Euro coins. Which is really expensive. Moreover, the laundry machine is allowed to be used only during 8 am to 5 pm. Which affects our trip schedule quite a lot.

It’s a large and comfortable apartment. The location is between two U-Bahn station, which is really convenient.
