It’s is steps from public transportation which makes this great! 10-15 minutes from Marienplatz. The neighborhood itself is quiet. Used apartment to only sleep. It is a basement apartment which make the apartment dark. Also note that there are stairs so dragging luggage can be a task. It looks dark when entering the building, but there are lights. I didn’t know and used my iPhone’s flashlight for the first night. Take your own entertainment for nights; television was not in the correct settings and appeared to only have a few local channels once I got it to work after hours of trying. It gets cold in the late evenings but in the middle of the night the heater kicks in and it’s nice and warm. Markets close at 8 so plan accordingly. Kitchen is a good size though I didn’t use it.
