The apartment was very clean and spacious! There was more than enough room for eight people. The bathroom and kitchen were both updated and very nice. The neighborhood had many restaurants and shops, and it was about a fifteen minute walk to Alexanderplatz. We had to take a taxi to the popular nightlife area and many of the tourist attractions specifically Checkpoint Charlie, the Eastern Wall gallery, and the Embassies. Overall, the apartment was perfect but the location was not walking distance from the attractions we wanted to see. Please note that you must walk up four or five flights of stairs to reach the apartment.
