This is a long review, since my research partner and I stayed in this apartment for about 5.5 weeks. We wanted something outside of the Berlin city center (as it was VASTLY less expensive) but close enough that we could easily access everything, particularly the district Neukölln. The apartment is in a really safe area. We never encountered any problems apart from an uncomfortable run in with another resident late one night in the last few days of our stay. Apart from that, however, we felt entirely secure -- the door has a double lock and a chain lock on the apartment itself, and the outside of the building has a lock as well. Also, a lot of families live in the building, and that area of Spandau seemed to be a lot of new families and elderly folk. It was so comforting to be able to feel really secure in a new country. Spandau was SUPER walking- and biking-friendly. We ended up using Google Maps to navigate us the first few times we went out and about as it even directed us to the correct paths and sidewalks. The apartment is also pretty close to a lot of things: maybe a 7-10 minute walk to Spandau Bahnhof, a 17 minute walk to Aldi, a 22 minute walk to Lidl, and about a 35 minute walk to Ikea. On U-bahn, S-Bahn, or the DB trains, it's somewhere between a 15 to a 35 minute ride into the heart of the city. This isn't a fault of the apartment, but most things close everyday around 6-8 p.m. and everything pretty much is closed on Sundays/any sort of holiday (particularly religious holidays). This is kind of common for much of Germany, though; we encountered very few places that were open past 9 or 10 p.m. Just a personal note -- even though the reviews sometimes make it sound really terrible, we loved LeCrobag, especially in the Spandau Bahnhof. We got so many milchkaffees and blueberry muffins/schokocroissants that the kind worker eventually had our orders memorized! Seriously, it was so so pleasant and we thought it was a tasty (and inexpensive!) treat every time we got to go there! Anyways, the apartment is much bigger in reality than it seems from the pictures! We were really thrilled to see how large the bedroom was and even the kitchen was a lot bigger than so many other places we'd looked at. It was so spacious! We did encounter a few problems, however, that were a bit of an inconvenience, though nothing too hard to handle. The WiFi had a fairly strong connection, but nearly every hour from the :45 mark to the beginning of the next hour the WiFi connection would go out and we'd have no access to internet. The water in the place goes from pretty scalding hot to ice cold, no matter what temperature you put it on. I think this is because the heater is a tankless one and likely...
