The house is exactly as described, in a calm street in a residential neighbourhood of Moabit. The building itself needs some renovation, but that should not make your stay any less pleasant. Close to the U and S Bahn, but walking to the city center is certainly doable. Parking our car was easy and free. We were a bit earlier but Massimo was ready for us anyway. The shower and kitchen are great, the bed is comfortable after you made the climb up. The apartment has al the utilities you need, like wifi, a washing machine, coffee machines, a dishwasher etc. It really makes for a great base camp.
