I don't have a single bad thing to say about my stay at Michele's apartment. Prenzlauer Berg is a beautiful and happening neighborhood, the apartment is only one block from an S-Bahn station, and my family of six felt there was plenty of room for all of us.
It was great to have laundry as an option, and the jalousie were helpful in blocking out any light or noise due to the ground floor location.
Definitely check out Beakers, Le Muse Gueule, Chutnify and the Sunday market at the Kulturbrauerei.
