We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very quiet and clean. There are lots of restaurants and a grocery store nearby. It is about a 10 minute walk to a few U-Bahn stations, and a five minute walk to a bus. Berlin has lots to see and do. We bought a 7 day A-B transportation pass, and we used it a lot as sites are spread out all over. You need a Zone C pass for the Schoenefeld Airport and to go to Potsdam (highly recommended day trip!). It was very handy having a washing machine, and the kitchen was well supplied with kitchen ware. Do bring bath soap and shampoo, as these were not provided.
