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

  : 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 wasnt 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.

  : 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 didnt 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.

  : 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.
