Alt-Treptow's pretty chill. Lots of green space, good for families, and some cool, independent shops popping up. Depends what you're looking for, though.

I found a nice apartment in this area. But I don't know if I should choose it. Does anyone have any advices/experience living here?

Alt-Treptow's great for families, that's true. Quiet, but still close enough to the action if you need it. Biggest thing to consider is transport – how easy is it to get to work/uni from there? Otherwise, it sounds pretty idyllic.

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg's Waiting Room

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg

So, I'm going in for a check-up at the Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg next week – kinda nervous, tbh. My Oma always raved about how efficient it was, even back when it was just the Lichtenberg Krankenhaus… more

It's a mixed bag, honestly. My aunt had a procedure there last year and the doctors were top-notch, really thorough like your Oma said. But the waiting room... yeah, that's another story. It can get pretty packed, especially in the mornings. Three hours is possible, but I wouldn't count on a speedy in-and-out. Maybe try going first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon to beat the rush. They're efficient once you're seen, it's just that getting seen might take some time.
