Central and nice neighbourhood, close to the "Landwehr Kanal" a green pole with nice places to eat, drink, enjoy flee-and foodmarkets (weekend) or just to enjoy the sun :-)
We hired bikes (on Skalitzer Strasse; 5-10min walk through Görlitzer Park) for the whole stay and that was a good decision to get around the city and the different highlights.
"Markthalle Neun" for delicious food and drinks, is close by as well.
