This was a LOVELY apt.- very clean, large, and very tasteful and artistic decor. Sheets smelled like fresh laundry. Balcony was lovely for coffee in the morning. France couldn't have been a nicer host. Only downside is that it is pretty far from Mitte, and most tourist attractions. This is on the far side of Neukolln, whereas the hipster area is a bit of a walk. Not a lot of high end restaurants around. It is close to the U8 line. though, which takes you to the action in about 20-25 min.
