To be honest, this apartment- especially its location-was the best part of my 5 day stay in Berlin. Berlin is a very large city and felt "spacious" after Paris and Prague. But it has to be truly explored to yield its riches. The Tiergarten, the museums, the paths along the Spree are charming, but the history can, I think (and after only my first visit) be understood only with excellent guidebooks and, even better, with a walking tour. Eckhart's small but impeccably maintained studio is a wonderful corner of the city that allows for reflection on what Berlin must have been like in more turbulent times. Bordering a large park, you have a small, private patio, in a peaceful location. Yet you are only about 6-7 min from buses (and 50 min from airport) and U6 which will easily get you to central Berlin. Yet, you have in this Kreuzberg neighborhood a bustling city of its own: cafes, restaurants (a wonderful craft beer restaurant is at the bottom of the hill), shops. The studio is on a slight incline, so expect to do a bit of heavy breathing ! I loved my temporary little home! It is a bit difficult to find, though. Sixtusgarten is not actually a street but the name of this small apartment complex. Get good directions from Eckhart. Still, I strongly recommend.
