The exterior of the building definitely needs a caring touch, so we did not have the big expectations about the apartment. Our goal was just to have a nightly base, as we were out most of the day, each day. We were pleasantly surprised with the apartment. Everything was in very good condition and the apartment was basically "new" (we had apartment 215). We have stayed at several other places before, at much higher cost, and it was not like this. If you have a family of 4 (we are 2 adults and 2 teenage boys) and need a place to have as a base while exploring Harzen, we will definitely recommend the Panoramic Oberharz (as mentioned, we only had access to apartment 215). All you need is available, good kitchen with all utensils, fridge, dishwasher, oven etc. Good furniture, bathroom and fast internet. There was still soe construction work, but nothing that bothered us. The only negative must be a lack of parking.
