Apache cannot access custom directory

I am using apache 2.4 and ubuntu 15.10. I want to change default /var/www/html/ directory for my files into /home/myuser/mydir/. I know there are many tutorials, but it doesn't seem to work.

I changed 000-default.conf:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost     
# DocumentRoot /var/www/html 
DocumentRoot /home/myuser/mydir
# <Directory /var/www/html>
<Directory /home/myuser/mydir>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

I changed default-ssl.conf:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

# DocumentRoot /var/www/html
DocumentRoot /home/myuser/mydir

I changed apache.conf:

# <Directory /var/www/html>
<Directory /home/myuser/mydir>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

ls -l in /home/myuser/mydir is solid: -rwxrwxrwx

If I restart apache2 and access "localhost" in my browser I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.4.12 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

I don't know what else I can do.

Make /home/myuser/ world readable and world executable.
