The apartment itself is exactly as we expected and is in a very central location. Clean and plenty of space for one to three people. The bus stop is right outside and the subway is a short walk. There is a grocery store next door and another one a block away. Plenty of coffee shops and cafe's nearby. Transportation in Berlin is very easy. Confirm details with the host and it may be a good idea to message him when you are on your way as a reminder to meet for check-in. Unfortunately, our check-in time changed and our host was accommodating but ultimately forgot. We were waiting on a cold, wet day for quite some time after a very long flight. Original directions from the airport to the apartment were incorrect so make sure you confirm using google maps.
