The location was awesome for catching public transportation to go anywhere else in Berlin, but the neighborhood itself was so great that you might not even want to leave the neighborhood! It is just a short walk from the apartment to dozens of awesome restaurants, convenience stores and coffee shops. Even with all that, the neighborhood is very quiet at night, so you'll have no trouble sleeping. This apartment was REALLY clean, and the size is great - you could definitely stay here with children. There is a close-able door between the living room (which has a couch that turns into a bed) and the main bedroom, so you can really separate the house into two bedrooms if you'd like. Highly recommend this place!! Also, the host responds almost instantly to all messages and provides really clear instructions for how to get to and into the apartment.
