We had a great weekend in this apartment, traveling with a toddler. We texted Alla when we arrived and she came to meet us within a few minutes. The location is amazing - short walk to U and S trains, with loads of stuff nearby. Cute cafes, great restaurants, bakeries, playgrounds, a grocery store, a shopping mall all within a few blocks. The apartment is on the ground floor of a large apartment building full of families. There was quite a bit of street noise at night, so if you're a light sleeper you might want to steer clear. The furnishings were on the basic side but we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including a baby cot - thanks!), and with Berlin at our doorstep we didn't spend much time there anyway! Thanks again Alla!
