The studio is exactly as described and shown in photos - although you should keep in mind that there is no oven. It is a two minute walk from the closest gas station, post office, and grocery store (Edeka), with additional grocery stores on the same street. The apartment is quite close to the Dahme, with plenty of benches which make for a lovely spot to have breakfast or watch the sunset. The neighbourhood is extremely residential, and so quite quiet, but a 20 minute walk or 5 minute tram ride will bring you to the heart of Kopernick with lots of restaurants, coffeeshops, and pubs. Getting to Kreuzburg, Neukolln or Mitte does take around an hour, but the route is very straightforward, and it is easy to enjoy Berlin's more touristy spots, as well as the nightlife. The host was extremely easy to communicate with, and always replied promptly.
