The apartment is extremely well equipped, very comfortable and very cosy and appears newly and very attractively decorated. The entrance to the block is off a wide tree-lined road to an internal courtyard with small garden and trees, so it´s very quiet; south facing, so beautifully light and sunny and looking out on those trees. Communal hall area also newly carpeted and tastefully decorated, with 52 shallow steps to the apartment. The location is great - a few minutes walk to the nearest tram, and plenty of other transport links, underground, train, bus, within 15 minute walk. Plenty of shops, from corner general shop over the road to Lidl a few minutes walk away. Lots of bars, coffee shops, restaurants in the vicinity. Will certainly return if we return to Berlin!
