Oksana's apartment is great: kitchen (incl microwave, stove, coffee maker, large fridge), washer, balcony with great view, U-Bahn in front of house. The area Wilmesdorf just south of Kurfürstendamm is a nice residential area with some shops. Location really depends on what you're up to - for us it was super convenient. Be aware that you can hear the busy street a bit - we were not bothered by this but if you're super sensitive to noise. Thanks for the stay!
