A great spot to stay. Was there for two weeks and got to explore the neighborhood. Great cafes out the front door and some excellent restaurants too. Very easy to get everywhere in Berlin as it sits between the U and the S trains; a few stops from most places we visited. One bedroom does get sound from the train, if you are not a light sleeper though it shouldn't be too much. The other bedroom is very quiet. For small families this is a good spot as it has an elevator for hauling stuff in and out; note that there is no bathtub. Maybe that is expected in Germany? For couples or friends traveling together, it's ideal.
