This apartment was great! Spacious, great kitchen and bathrooms, quiet at night, and very clean. There was still a lot of construction happening outside on the road and entrance while we were there, but they seemed to be finishing it up, so hopefully that will not cause any problems for future renters. It was no problem getting the keys and a tour of the building. Very close to Volkspark Friedrichshain and a bunch of restaurants, a bakery, and a Spätkauf for late night beers. =) We had our 3 kids with us (ages 7, 3, and 8 months) and the apartment worked wonderfully for them (the owners have kids, so there are even toys and kids books and stuff!).
