Guest Reviews
- Denis (10/5): -
- Wittig (10/5): Tolle Ferienwohnung in zentraler Lage - Die Lage ist super- zentral- nur wenige Gehminuten vom Checkpoint Charlie und damit auch vom ÖPNV entfernt. Damit kann man Berlin sehr gut erkunden. Die Wohnung ist schön saniert und gut ausgestattet. Die Betten sind bequem und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und steht für Auskünfte zur Anmeldung, Wohnung oder möglichen Unternehmungen jederzeit zur Verfügung. Die U-Bahn fährt unter der Straße direkt am Haus entlang. Daran muss man sich erst gewöhnen. Die Tür zum mittleren Schlafzimmer klemmt etwas und lässt sich nur geräuschvoll schließen.
- Klara (10/5): Nous avons passé un super séjour, grâce au confort aussi de l'appartement. - Tout était vraiment super, l'appartement était de grande qualité : propre, beau, grand spacieux et plein d'attentions de la part de notre hôte. Tout était parfait. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. Le propriétaire est vraiment super. rien. Tout était vraiment bien.
- Hilde (10/5): Helpful hosts/owners, checking up on us and being available before and during our stay. - The property is easy to access and has a history attached to it. Lovely apartement with everything we needed for our stay. Can't really think of anything. Maybe a mop or something in case we spilled on the floor.
- Kevin (9/5): Superb - The apartment was spacious and comfortable, the showers were great. It is in a great location for sightseeing.
- Ben (8/5): Very good -
- Sandy (10/5): Exceptional - The apt is very nit and the hosts are amazing. nothing
- Emilija (10/5): Lovely apartment, amazing location. - I wanted to share some feedback regarding the pre-arrival process, specifically the detailed form we were asked to complete. While I understand that these measures are likely for security purposes, the form required us to provide a significant amount of personal information, including document numbers, nationalities, names, and surnames, not just for ourselves but also for any visitors to the apartment. The level of detail requested felt intrusive, and the numerous rules surrounding it made the process feel less welcoming. I believe that while security is important, a more balanced approach to data collection could make guests feel more comfortable and at ease during their stay. I hope this feedback is helpful and can be considered for future improvements.
- Andrei (10/5): Excellent -
- Jim (9/5): Great base for family trip - Great location for exploring Berlin. Very good transport links and eating options nearby. Accomedating and helpful host, whom we dealt with via the app. Very happy. No issues. Nothing further to add. Although German bin system is a little complex at first...
- Christine (5/5): If you like big and well equipped and don’t care about charm this will be perfect. - The space was exceptional and the kitchen well equipped. The host eventually on day 3 became responsive and accommodating Location was convenient but did not reflect the atmosphere I expected from Kreuzberg. The building is beautiful and impressive on the outside but the apartment has no character whatsoever. There is not one picture on the walls which needs painting. The listing includes a washing machine but once there, we found we had to pay to use it. City taxes were charged even though this was included in the rental. The host only noticed this on day 3 and reimbursed us.
- Martin (8/5): Nice but overpriced - Location, comfort, cleanlines 4 pages of house rules to read . Complicated to get the key No reception No elevator 4 floors Low pressure water of the shower
- Fran (9/5): Great location and very spacious accomodation. - The location of the apartment was very central, it was about 400 meter from Checkpoint Charlie, the apartment was very roomy, it does not have a lift so it is not recommended for persons who have problems walking the stairs if they stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor I can't fault anything at the property, the rooms were very spacious so were the bathrooms.
- Michael (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a great location in Berlin with easy access to public transportation. - Meticulously clean, spacious apartment!
- Catalina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brennan (9/5): Superb - 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. 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.
- Anonymous (10/5): Location is good but no elevator - It’s a large and comfortable apartment. The location is between two U-Bahn station, which is really convenient. 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.
- Hakim (9/5): It was a great stay and we will surely go back again to the same apartment when we are in Berlin next time - 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. Additional bedsheets were not available for the sofa bed (if needed)
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Roberta (8/5): Beautiful and well-located but no A/C and no black-out curtains - 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) 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.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- J (10/5): Exploring new places - The place is nice and comfortable,the host was really helpful,highly recommended nice location Everything was fine
- Wendy (9/5): The flat was very spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Also very family-friendly. - 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.
- Fiona (10/5): brilliant - great location. host was excellent with communication. pictures do not do this building or apartment justice. absolutely beautiful with loads of old features but also very contemporary nothing
- Mary (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ann-katrin (9/5): Superb -
- Joanna (8/5): Very good - The apartment was lovely, spacious well equipped and in a great location. 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.
- Li-kang (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Nicht für Familien geeignet, außer Lärm und Nacht-Parties stören Sie nicht. Sie sollten UNBEDINGT englisch sprechen, wenn Sie Apartments buchen da Sie u.a. Anleitungen, wie der Schlüssel zu bekommen ist, auf englisch sind. Details Noisy neighbours in 11c (we have been 11d) from the same landlord/apartment block and the landlord/"city landmark" owner says it is "not his fault". That noise definitely isn't my fault, is it dear owner (Marian?), is it?! Happened both nights that the other people partied well after 23:00/11pm and i had to send messages to the owner to stop it, after our four year old woke up. Beside that there have been sms and email communications mostly one sided and their "house rules" claim "NO NOISE AFTER 21.00/9PM". So that is something the owner is responsible for, isn't he? So it is his fault after all. Beside that i expect him to care for +200EUR/night. So the house rules are useless if nobody feels responsible for them, especially not the person who rents the apartment out. Beside that the area isn't for families, if you like junkies and weird people just turn to "Hallesches Tor", which is closer then the advertised "Checkpoint Charlie". The apartment was big/huge and the rooms clean, so that is a plus point. The initial procedure to get the actual apartment keys was very complicated and frustrating. If you like partying and you are in groups of 4-8 people, this one might be for you. For everybody else, don't book it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfecte uitvalsbasis. - Zeer chique appartement midden in Berlijn. Appartement is zeer groot en erg schoon. We hebben nog nooit zulke lekkere douches gehad. De keuken is goed uitgerust. In de slaapkamers is zeer veel kastruimte. Binnen 10 minuten van Checkpoint Charlie, Joods museum en U-bahn. Parkeren kan, met een klein beetje zoeken, gratis binnen 200 meter. Een aanrader dus.
- Annik (10/5): - Magnifique appartement tout confort Très grand et superbement situé
