Very nice, modern, and clean apartment well suited for groups of 5 with outdoor areas in a quiet neighborhood. There's not a lot happening in the neighborhood as far as restaurants/bars/entertainment/ambiance goes, so its best used as a place to crash or hang out before/after being out for the day. Walking around the neighborhood, you might feel as though you're still in soviet East Berlin--with its plain, uniform, and austere buildings and parks--which can be quite an experience in itself. There is a grocery store very close (5 min walk) from the apartment to get everything you need for breakfast or dinners at home. Public transport is a bit farther (~10 min walk to bus, trams, and trains) and about 30-45 min away from most major attractions in Berlin. We had a great experience and enjoyed the apartment very much, just don't expect to be in the middle of historical or bustling Berlin.
