This is a very tidy, fairly spacious apt in a great part of town. Everything is clean and recently renovated. One couldn't ask for more from an apt, really. BUT, there is one serious flaw - the noise from upstairs. This is very typical of all Altbau apts in Berlin, but my experience here is a more concerning. The upstairs neighbor has a penchant for walking in shoes at all times of the night, and I found this incredibly jarring. Even conversation can easily be heard. If this concerns you, I think you should consider other options. If not, you will find yourself in a great, clean apt in one of the best parts of town.
