I had a lovely stay at Ben’s apartment. The apartment is in a secure building looking into a quiet courtyard, and is well-situated to give you access to the sights in Mitte and the happening scene in Kreuzberg (where I found myself repeatedly drawn). Felt quite spacious for one; two could stay here comfortably. Public transportation is a short walk away in any direction, and you’ll also find the now ubiquitous escooter and e-bicycles conveniently parked right outside the main door of Ben’s place. Ben was a responsive host, and I recommend asking him about the history of the apartment when the wall was still up!
