The apartment is very well located in a nice, friendly neighborhood with many restaurants, coffees and shops all around. It is extremely quiet, night and day. It's a first floor and the windows of the master bedroom open to the interior part of the building where residents park their bikes, but we have never heard them in the morning, either on week-end or week days. It's well furnished. It's the perfect rental to take advantage of all the things to see in Berlin and still rest after a long day walking, or biking. We're a family with 3 children between 8 and 5 and we all enjoyed it. I wouldn't rent it for the terrace yet, even if it provides more space to the apartment (no 'vis-a-vis'), it was dark and shadowy, not very big. Big thanks to Dieter who welcomed us and gave us nice recos about the things to do and see. We will miss Berlin!
