We needed to be in this area to see relatives, at first it seemed sketchy but with time we felt safe and comfortable. The apartment is furnished in second hand items (vintage) which is a Berlin thing. It was ok but I wouldn’t describe it as elegant. Some of the furnishings were tired
The linens need an upgrade. The bed was comfortable. The locks and entry was great. Apartment was a nice size (ie bigger than cosy) and had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom.
