I made the reservation, sent a text via VRBO to the owner to let him know that I was making the reservation for my son and his 4 friends, paid for the apartment, and got confirmation. But, on the day of check-in, we were never able to make contact with the owner despite multiple calls and texts. And then while I was on the phone with VRBO customer service, the owner suddenly canceled the reservation over an hour after we were to have checked in. My son and his friends who had just traveled for 8 hours and were already exhausted were left with no place to go for another several hours. And I spent many hours that day arranging the first night’s hotel and then had to find another place for them to stay for the rest of the time. This was right in the middle of an intense work week for me. And I still have to take time to try to get reimbursed from VRBO for the expenses! It was a nightmare and has made me rethink ever using these kinds of owner-rented services again! So it is rather ironic that after all that I got an email from VRBO to rate our stay!!??!!

The apartment was beautiful, very cosy. I had myself and 7 friends stay and there was plenty room for everyone. Jan was very helpful and accommodating.

Schöne Wohnung, zentrale Lage. Leider waren die Schlafräume bei offenem Fenster durch die S-Bahn sehr laut. Balkon ist schön, aber nicht sehr gro?. Wir kommen gerne wieder ...

Die Parksituation in Charlottenburg (wahrscheinlich aber wie in ganz Berlin) ist eher schwierig, die 20 Euro Parkhausgebühr pro Tag sollte man noch einplanen. Ansonsten ist die Gegend super, wenn man Abends noch etwas unternehmen will. Kulinariach ist so ziemlich alles vorhanden sowohl zum Frühstück als auch Abendessen. Der Vermieter ist super nett und steht jederzeit für Rückfragen zur Verfügung.
