I stayed for 2 weeks in Marius' apartment and it was a wonderful stay. Had everything I needed for a home base. Apartment was very clean and the balcony is lovely and comfortable. I didn't cook so can't speak to the kitchen but the location is absolutely wonderful with no shortage of restaurants within a short walk. Water pressure in the shower is great as well. Being right by the canal allowed for a nice morning walk every day! Elevator is a MAJOR PLUS especially in Berlin.
