Guest Reviews

• Marko (3/5): -
• Daena (6/5): This apartment could have so much potential. - The overall apartment was clean and location is good it just needs improvements. For the amount charging to stay I think it deserves it. Location is good. It’s the not the review I would like to be given but if it helps future guests & the host to improve the apartment then I hope this review helps. The location and the direction of this apartment is very poor and unclear, the instructions need to be more clearer and explained better. (we missed our booking because of this) The host was very helpful with the directions but it was difficult to understand and find. The location is good though, lots going on around it. The apartment looks nothing like the photos, it’s completely misleading and disappointing. The photos need to be updated. Half of the furniture in the photos aren’t in the apartment. Needs more furniture to fill the rooms & it looks very empty. The bedrooms were okay and the beds were comfortable, new bedding would be recommended as we notice some of the pillow were stained and discoloured, which was disgusting. The mirror situation NEEDS be to sorted, one bedroom mirror and a bathroom mirror is not enough for an apartment of that size. We were a party of 6 and getting ready in the morning was a nightmare. 6 people using one bedroom mirror (behide a door with no lighting) while we waited for the bathroom mirror to be un steamed. The bathroom is nothing like the photos, it’s a downgrade from them as it’s now an old shower head & a plastic shower curtain. I really doubt the shower curtain is being cleaned. The water from the shower floods the floor every time (which is dangerous for guests, I’m actually 7 months pregnant and slipped twice) We weren’t expecting room service but more clean towels would of be nice as we were there for three nights using the same towels. Some of the plug sockets didn’t work. I would say this apartment would be good for a group of men or people who just want a place to stay and not planning to stay in the place for long.
• Timiaou (7/5): Grand appartement bien situé - L' emplacement dans un quartier vivant proche de tout transport. Rez de chaussée sur rue calme Accès a l'appartement mal expliqué au départ car boîte à clé remplacée par serrure électronique et infos non concordantes . Beaucoup de temps perdu pour entrer dans les lieux. Vaisselle et équipement limité. Bouilloire dégoûtante. Pas de machine a café mais hôte réactif qui l'a apporté le lendemain. Seulement 2 rouleaux de papier toilette pour 5 jours a 5 personnes ... 3e chambre un peu limite , pauvrement meublée avec une seule prise de courant.
• Višić Andrea (10/5): - It was wonderful, spacious rooms, everything is near to see. Neighborhood is peaceful and has all you need.
• Tove (8/5): -
• Linda (7/5): Praktisk beliggenhed - Beliggenhed Lidt slidt og ikke så hyggeligt
• Camille (8/5): Spacieux mais peut être amélioré ! - Le logement est spacieux, le calme, l'emplacement dans la ville (transports et commerces à proximité). La literie n'était pas confortable (manque de lattes sur les sommiers). Le logement manque de cachet et de chaleur (pas assez de lumière). La connexion est en 3G donc très faible. Le lave-vaisselle disfonctionnait pendant notre séjour (lavage à l'eau froide). Plusieurs prises ne fonctionnaient pas (salle de bain, salon). Et attention, il y a trois chambres et trois lits grands doubles 160x200 (deux matelas séparables), mais le canapé lit n'est pas un canapé lit à proprement parlé mais plutôt une simple banquette (où il manquait une latte).
• Ahmad (10/5): - Sauberkeit und es gab alles was man braucht und gemütliche Betten Fön hat nicht funktioniert
• James Pieter (10/5): Ich würde die Wohnung kaufen - Location perfect and the beds were extremely comfortable, slept amazing.
• Barra (3/5): Missold - Location was central to everywhere in berlin Plug sockets beside bed didn't work, hairdryer almost blew up when plugged in beside the bed. Room looked nothing like the pictures and the beds weren't comfortable. Not great value for money at all would nit recommend. None of the amenities worked and we all had a terrible stay.
• alexis (5/5): It's not a pearl but a raw diamond that could become a pure gem. - Nice location with close subway and bus lane. Lot of restaurant, cafes, bar and grocery store around. A secured parking is also possible at 5mn walking distance. Street is a dead end so no real trafic. The neighborhood is on the BoHo side. Communist era flat with huge rooms with impressive ceiling height. Comfortable beds. Located on ground floor, with not much light in rooms facing street du to big tree. Minimal furnitures in rooms. The lights are not helping giving a cosy feeling. Some issues with anomalies in kitchen. Communication was ok but no one came to solve those issues.
• Jasmin (6/5): Für den Preis machbar, zentral gelegen, gute Anbindung. - Die Unterkunft ist insgesamt in Ordnung für ein paar Tage und punktet vor allem durch ihre zentrale Lage. Restaurants, Bars und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten befinden sich direkt vor der Tür, und auch die U-Bahn ist nur wenige Schritte entfernt – damit ist man schnell am Alexanderplatz oder anderen Hotspots der Stadt. Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr minimalistisch eingerichtet. Man sieht ihr an, dass sie genutzt wird, und die abgebildeten Möbel auf den Fotos entsprechen nicht mehr ganz der aktuellen Ausstattung. Die Bilder wirken insgesamt etwas schöner als die Realität vor Ort. Dennoch: Das Objekt hat Potenzial. Mit etwas mehr Liebe zum Detail und einer wohnlicheren Gestaltung ließe sich hier sicherlich noch mehr herausholen – sowohl in puncto Wohlfühlfaktor als auch beim Preis. Für den aktuellen Preis war der Aufenthalt aber absolut in Ordnung. Musste 40 Minuten auf den Zugangscode für die Schlüssel warten.
• Christian (8/5): Berlin abseits der Touristen - Tolle Lage, groß und super gelegen. U-Bahnhof (U5) direkt um die Ecke gelegen und Fußläufig tolle Kneipen und Kiezkultur (Simon-Dach-Strasse). Wer Döner mag - checkt Dunya in der Silvio-Meier-Straße 1 ab. Direkt an der U-Bahn. Kontakt zum "Vermittler" soweit auch gut verlaufen und immer relativ schnell Antwort bekommen. Achtung - nur in Englisch. In der Küche war der Wasserkocher sehr verdreckt und die Spülmaschine ist "defekt" - macht zumindest nicht mehr sauber und trocknet nicht. Für 3 Doppelbetten und ein Zusatzbett, ist etwas wenig Besteck und Gläser vorhanden. Auch fehlt für 7 Personen dann ein Stuhl. Alles dem Kontakt der Wohnung bereits gemeldet, sollte daher schnell geändert werden. Kontakt nur per email. Hinterlegte Rufnummer ist nicht angemeldet, daher für Notfall etwas schwierig.
• Ino Maya (9/5): -
• Valentin (9/5): -
• Akos (8/5): Very good -
• Luciana (4/5): Disappointing - The rooms are large and spacious. The apartment is very well heated. It's very close to the subway, and the neighborhood is nice. The bathroom sink is clogged, the toilet was dirty, and the shower curtain was moldy. The sheets and bedspreads were stained. One of the rooms faces the street and has no blinds. The oven dish and dishes were dirty; they hadn't been washed and there were food scraps on them. There was no dishcloth or rug in the bathroom. The Wi-Fi didn't work, and therefore neither did the TV. The host was subpar; he didn't respond to messages and didn't fix the internet issue. I wouldn't return.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. The access is super easy through a digital code.
• Riel (10/5): Best quality-price, a beautiful apartment and a perfect location. Top for group of friends. - The apartment is very large, the rooms are amazingly huge, there is one that is a little smaller, but they all have shelves or a piece of furniture to hang clothes and super fast heating, the kitchen is well equipped: microwave, coffee maker, oven, cutlery , etc (we cooked there every day and there were 7 of us) and most importantly: dishwasher. There are vintage markets 10 minutes away and the neighborhood is very nice, I went out for a run and there is a beautiful cafe that is also a book store. Amazing all-night kebab 10 minutes away and Berghain IS 10 MINUTES WALK, good pubs nearby too. The TV is smartTV and we were able to do a Gossip Girl maraton with the girls. It is very nice and we even found extra blankets and towels. We asked them how we could organize a detail for two of the people, since we didn't know if there was anything open when we arrived, and it was their birthday, and they offered to manage it themselves and bought us cake, balloons, wine and even a poster huge happy birthday. It is very well connected to the metro and tram, at around 25 minuts of the center, it has a Lidl 5 minutes away, and a local products store right in front. It was an experience of 10 and exceeding expectations, we hope to return in December. I highly recommend it! I had questions with the online check-in and even with how to turn on the heating and they helped me instantly, they are great!! We love it!! ALL PERFECT
• Dade (10/5): Very Relaxing and had a good experience in Berlin - Very good clean and central apartment close to everything you need for your stay in Berlin.
• Kazeem (1/5): Bad - Its a fraud!!!
• Ray (10/5): My stay was very comfortable and relaxing for my weekend getaway. - I like that the property was easily accessible. It was very close to a lot of restaurants and a few bars as well. The place was very clean and the host was very responsive when I needed help with things. All around was a wonderful stay for me and the guest I traveled with. The property is definitely a replica of what they have advertised. I have no negative comments towards the property. It was definitely what I was expecting plus more.
• Ela (1/5): I will never return to this pkace as it was super dirty. - Price This was absolutely horrible experience. The appartment was super dirty. The floors were not even wiped when we arrived. There was spilled liquids from previous visitor. I noticed this when we accidentaly move part of the couch. Ew. There were bed bugs, all of us have stinges on our bodies they were biting us all night. The second i sat on my bed it broke. So i slept in a hole. HORRIBLE. They asked us to clean the appartment when we will be leaving… why? The tv was not working the wifi was not working.
• Levani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Very nice place to stay. Comfortable and very clean. Great location! Would definitely book again. The only negative was when we arrived the lock box did not work so we had to be let in by the host. We only had one way to get in the whole time and it was through and app so only one person could use it.
• Philip (1/5): horrific - One bed was broken, not possible to sleep in and the host did nothing to help us. didn’t answer messages. on arrival the code for the door didn’t work and neither the code for key box to get in the house. the apartment was very dirty. Dishes from previous guest were still dirty and the dishwasher that the host uses was disgusting. overall the apartment and communication from the host was extremely horrible. DO NOT BOOK THIS APARTMENT.
• Zsolt (7/5): Was ok. - The apartment is big enough for a family or for a friends group. Good location, lot of nice cafes and restaurands are around. They wrote many times that no check in before 16h, but must to check out till 10h because of the cleaning. We arrived after 16h and the apartment wasn't cleaned yet, the hous keeper was still there. We asked to wash the floor, becasue looked dirty, but she didn't do it. WIFI didn't work, we sent a message to the owner asked to fix it, but we haven't get any answer for that, and the internet and tv did not work during our whole stay. If you want to use the dish washer bring some tablets because there are no any.
• Lydia (3/5): Never again - Good location, only positive thing we could say Many many things. The key lock box for check-in didn't work, we managed to get in despite this to access the single key that was in the apartment. Despite constant requests throughout the weekend for the second key to be got to us no one bothered to remedy the situation. Our whole weekend was dominated by the complexities of 3 couples all with different plans and schedules trying to be able to access the apartment with only 1 key between them and no working lockbox to leave it in either. No phone number was ever given for us to contact anyone- only by message- quite clearly done this way for the comfort and control of the management. Upon arrival we had to go out to buy toilet paper and coat hangers, as there was neither. The dishwasher was full of mould so could not be used. The shower fixture was broken so the shower head would not stay in place to take a shower. The overall condition of the apartment was poor with laminate finishes that were peeling away in places, and an absolute bear minimum of furnishings, some of which were falling apart (our bedside table for instance, which was coming apart, with the sides falling off). Overall I felt very much like we were there for the convenience of the management, to allow them to make money, but as to the quality of what they gave in return for said money, they cared little. Late check in at 4pm, early check out at 10am, all pushed to the maximum of what they could ask, and the minimum of what they could offer. I think it goes without saying that we would not return to stay here ever again.
• Simone (8/5): Very good -
• Simon (8/5): Very good - The apartment is situated in a great area. We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Great transport links to anywhere in Berlin too. The apartment is quite basic. If you're not too bothered about a 'homely' feeling, this place does the trick. We struggled with the WiFi. We could only really get it in one room.
