Location, location, location! This was my friend’s and my first time in Berlin- and boy were we not disappointed. This may not be ideal for people who are sensitive to noise or being around crowds (very briefly just to walk by incognito to tuck in for the night). However, I live in NYC- across from a restaurant, and have definitely experienced a lot more intrusive noise. It is centrally located between 2 very convenient train stops and also many tram stops, but the public transit system in Berlin can get you anywhere in a reasonable amount of time- no matter where you are. What was the best thing about this place was its walking distance to so many great restaurants/bars/cafes/historical places. Everyone recommends Kreuzberg- I say Josty Brewery with Klaus! One last thing- Klaus is attentive and accommodating, so you are in good hands to book with Klaus.
