If you're looking for a calm, clean, place in a good location - this is the place pick! It's near great restaurants, cafes and 2 grocery stores. It's far away from the touristy section but near most must see sites. We ended up walking everywhere. However, if you prefer public transportation the main U-Bahn (subway) is literally a minute walk from the apartment. Shantia is a wonderful host! He responded quickly, gave us suggestions as to where to go, eat and sight see!
