We had a great time in Berlin, and it was absolutely helpful that the apartment is located very central. We could easily walk to places like Alexanderplatz, the Museum Island and Berlin Cathedral. The balcony was a plus, and the beds were comfortable. Some construction site noises right outside this summer during the day. It was also noise from the road until midnight or so (with open windows in the middle of the summer), but I guess that is the price for staying so central. Overall the apartment was great! Easy access with elevator. A good choice for families or a group of friends.
