Overall I was unimpressed with the experience. The apartment is fine, it was everything we needed but was lacking anything special. The location is central but there is a lot more happening in other areas and I would recommend staying in Kreuzberg, Neukoln or even Friedrichshain. The communications with the host were terrible. In a nutshell I wouldn't stay here again, but if it's a big group of people it is excellent value for money. We were only four and could have gotten more bang for our buck in a smaller apartment.
