Good apartment layout. Ignore the graffiti on the frontage of the building. That as I learned is something embraced by Berliners at least, not as indicative of trouble as here in the US. Close to a family friendly park (Schillerpark); saw a yoga class there on one of the days. Lots of easily accessible kabob/gyro shops, supermarkets, pharmacy. Very diverse neighborhood.
Ben's apartment was clean and his team was very responsive when we communicated. The apartment was easy to access through the stairs. Not as steep as some other places I've stayed. Would recommend and stay in this apartment again.
