Overall, this apartment worked well for us. It was well-equipped with basics like towels and kitchen supplies and it was fun being in a non-touristy part of the city. It's quite close to a major transit hub, (and Berlin's public transit system is excellent) which is a big bonus because it's located somewhat away from the main tourist sites. The apartment is not as bright as the pictures indicate, and some of the bedding/furniture is worn. It was great having access to both a washer and dryer. Marcus was super easy to work with, gave us very clear instructions about the apartment, its appliances and procedures and was helpful with other information.
