The apartment is within walking distance of subway, as well as close to a shopping street with many restaurant choices. We were visiting with our 1-year old twins, and Doerthe was very accommodating by providing two high chairs, and two cribs with blankets, and even toys. One plus if you're visiting in the summer: the apartment is half-way below ground which makes it nice and cool even during a heat-wave we had (very few apartments in Germany have AC). Overall highly recommended.
