The flat is specious and tidy. It is close to the U-bahn and S-bahn station. The area is nice itself and you can walk to the funkturm tower with the view of Berlin (£5 lift to the top) There is a restaurant there but you have to book early to get a table.
There is also bio supermarket near by for every day shopping.
We came with 3 years old with us and asked Thalia for some toys if possible. She got some for him which was a nice welcome.
We planing to go next year again to Berlin and definitely want to stay there again.
The negatives: the flat is close to a motorway so you can hear the noise of cars. The boiler is difficult to get the water temp right, too hot or too cold. Bath was the easiest.
We enjoyed our stay and the relaxed neighbourhood.
