We liked staying in the studio apartment, which is relatively new. As previous reviewers have commented, indeed there are artful touches of modern decor, such as the crockery. Loved the sounds of children playing outside in the communal courtyard. It is very well located near the Gleisdreieck U-Bahn station, which is great, and the new BRLO Brewhouse is right there near the station and the awesome Park Am Gleisdreieck. It's immediately in a residential zone, but commerce and restaurants aren't too far a walk up to Potsdamer Strausse. I recommend it as a good base for seeing Berlin.
