The apartment was well appointed particularly the kitchen (which had great appliances.). There were 5 of us staying and we were each provided with a key. The apartment was on the ground floor and had a nice outlook to a little courtyard. The location in hermanplatz was very close to the underground, however it wasn’t the nicest part of the city in fact there were always beggars and unsavoury individuals lying on stairs, or the pavement. I guess a problem for most big cities, however other parts of Berlin weren’t as dirty.
