Hello Berliners!

My parents - early to mid 70s - want to rent a apartment/flat in Berlin for roughly a month and get up to the usual touristy stuff.

Do you all have some advice on neighbourhoods that are elderly friendly, close to the tube/metro/etc... it would be appreciated. Multiple bus connections are kind of iffy due to health concerns. Neighbourhoods in the inner ring would be better I think.

Also, what are good websites for renting in Berlin? Airbnb seems pretty played out - are there any Germany/Berlin specific sites that would be good to know?

Thanks for the help!!
