Appt Berlin

Good choice, good location

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. In our opinion, the apartment is currently not rentable. The apartment is in the basement (basement), which was not apparent from the photos and description on Booking.com. When we arrived, the apartment had neither been ventilated nor cleaned. There was water in the shower, leftover food from the last tenants in the fridge, and crumbs everywhere. The air was extremely musty, humid and also smelled a bit like cigarette smoke. The apartment has no ventilation apart from the windows facing the street. We switched on the two dehumidifiers in the living room and bedroom and got a display of 90% humidity. Using the hotplates, which was one of the reasons for the holiday apartment, is unthinkable without an extractor hood. The bathroom is in the worst condition and definitely needs to be completely renovated. The water doesn't drain properly, the joints are moldy, as is the bottom of the door frame. Contrary to the landlord's statement that it was black tile adhesive, not only the two craftsmen in our tour group were shaking their heads. The bed linen appeared to have been changed, but the covers were a bit damp due to the humidity in the apartment. In general, the apartment and its furniture are quite shabby compared to the photos on Booking. We were so disgusted that we canceled on the day of arrival and moved to the hotel. We are stuck with the costs.
