This apartment is located in my absolute favourite neighbourhood in Berlin, very non turisty and full och great vintage shops, bars and restaurants and in walking distance from Rathaus Neuköln U-bahn. In that way this apartment is great for getting an authentic Berlin experience.
Regarding the apartment itself it's very clear that it is only used for rental purposes - that noone actually lives here. For me personally I prefer to live in airbnbs that has a bit more "personality" to them. This apartment has every potential to be magical in that sense, with it's old beautiful wooden floors, arched sealing and large windows. Same goes for the garden that feels abit forgotten. But it's there and still very nice to sit in on warm nights / mornings. A little TLC would simply go along way both inside and outside.
The appartment worked very well for three adults and a 6 yo none the less. It has all the amenities one could ask for, even washer and dryer (perfect for traveling with messy kids) Close to Lidl. Elik was very easy to get a hold of when needed and always very friendly.
