Prenzlauer Berg is a great neighborhood to be in, and this room in a clean and charming flat is quite perfect. The reception was warm and thoroughly informative, and it even included a list of restaurant recommendations (and there are many many great ones in this area). The kitchen is stocked with tools and some basics like dry pasta and bread. The U-Bahn and the tram are very close, and thus it is quite easy to get pretty much anywhere from Prenzlauer Berg. No reason to stay anywhere else in Berlin.
