Great location if you're looking for a quiet neighborhood. Recommend renting a scooter to get around town since this is a bit further out. The hosts were superb, they put together a detailed guide book that really helps out newcomers. Everything was well maintained and clean, although we never opened the windows in fear of flying pests (no screens on the windows). It's a charming place, but be wary when arriving. There is an open garden/common area when walking in that definitely could use some love (the flat is facing this garden). One of the nicer places we stayed at in Berlin, we prefer this over the other. For food, there's a fairly high rated German restaurant. And a market is within walking distance.
