The apartment is very functional: small kitchen and gym, but serviceable. The laundry uses a third party called WeWash, and in quite expensive. The staff was sympathetic, and the apartment was kept clean with the once-a-week service.
The location gives easy access to U-bahn (U3), S-bahn (S1), and several buses. The downside is that you will need them to access anything other than supermarkets (expect a 30/40 minutes trip to the pubs).
