Gaybed was Sparse and Minimal, but clean. No napkins or paper towels in the Kitchen...forced to use Toilet Paper to wipe our mouths. Milk almost down to the last drop (part of the "free breakfast")...pity the poor lads who came in the Kitchen after us. Breakfast was cereal, Kraft cheese (single slice American in plastic), American white bread, milk and coffee. That's it. Took 1 day to get any towels, so no shower after our arrival. No help from the Owners because they were upset we never contacted them with our arrival time. After explaining to them their Web Site was confusing and we couldn't find an Email address, they copped an attitude. That was it with our relationship with them. They gave us a brief (like 3 minute) overview of Berlin and we were on our own. Oh yeah...they don't live in the House...they live down the Block and just unlock an apartment with a bunch of bedrooms and one bath. Then they disappear and you have no way of contacting them. The bath has a Face Cloth on a hook as the Common Towel for all guests to dry with after washing up. I would not recommend staying in this out-of-the-way place as there are many more convenient and reasonably priced places right in the Gay District.

We are sorry that we did not provide this author a towel on arrival.
This is definitely a mistake, which we really regret. We could help immediately, if he had told us earlier and not a day later.
Of course we provide fresh towels – if you want every day. The towel in the bathroom is for your guests, because we expect you to use your own towel!
We are living in the same building, but different entrance (10 yards).
Please have a look at Gaybeds Homepage to get a proper list of the breakfast. On each page, there is a “contact” link to the address, phone number and of course an eMail address!
If you need to change your arrival time, it is possible, that we are not able to spend much time with you. Of course you are welcome to come back later. It is our service but as well our pleasure to explain you Berlin on arrival. We are only happy, if you have a great stay at Gaybed and a great time in Berlin. I am sorry that these guys did not see so much about Berlin. I do not blame them for being badly prepared.
