Berlin - is Friedrichshain a good location
 

Four friends, two nights in Berlin. We're thinking of renting an apartment - and a couple are free in the Friedrichshain area - namely Boxhagener Strasse or Frankfurter Allee?

Is this a good location? Well served by public transport? Safe?

Many thanks for your input

Neighborhood is good for young adults, alternative lifestyles, progressive music & club lovers, squatters...
It is not exactly an upscale area, to put it mildly.
Well served by subway and trams.
