The apartment is very clean and well taken care of. Everything seemed brand new and the kitchen is quite excellent and comes with everything you will need to prepare a meal. There is even a hand blender for making smoothies. As mentioned by others it is very close to the metro which is across from a good underground grocery store Kaiser's and a euro mart 2-3 blocks to the left of it. Just remember that most shops are closed on Sunday, and some don't accept credit card just cash, so prepare your shopping ahead of time. Another tip is to use the washer's extra spin cycle to get your clothes drier, in german it is schleurdern.
