The apartment is in an upcoming area still a lot of run down and grafetti sprayed buildings. It is about a 20 minute walk to the ubahn stations or a two stop bus ride away. The garden view is one of a nice tree, a patch of dirt and weeds, lots of bikes and garbage storage. There is no air conditioning but Max does provide two fans and there are large windows to open. Lots of partying outside of the building. The washer and dryer are great and he does provide the use of Netflix. There are some cafes close by and the Aldi, post office and drug store/pharmacy are 20 minutes away at Heinrich-Heine Plaza.
