IIRC I've never used one, but I've also never owned a washing machine. By sheer luck both apartments I've been living in since 2006 have had a communal washer/dryer/drying room - but at least I would have the space to get my own washing machine here. I do know of a few, but as someone said, I think they're in neighborhoods with old buildings where not everyone might have their own.
