A great location for exploring the city - you can hop on the M4 right outside the apartment and get downtown quickly. It's a cute, safe area with plenty of restaurants and grocery stores and playgrounds. We stayed there with 2 kids and only wished the windows to the bedrooms had shades of some sort - the light from the kitchen shows through and kept my son awake. We improvised w garbage bags over the windows though. Other than that (and perhaps a need to update a few things with scratches/looking worn), a cute functional little place for exploring Berlin.
