The apartment is ideally situated on a quiet street adjacent to a variety of shops and restaurants. U-Bahn is very close by. Stairs to the apartment (no elevator). We were 5 people and found the apartment to be spacious and comfortable. It is a nice retreat after a day of exploring such a vibrant city. The host was there to greet us and we could contact her at any time with inquiries and expect a prompt response. We would go back!
