After barely being able to turn around in my last Berlin airbnb, I really appreciated the spaciousness of Stefanie's loft. Her place takes up a good part of a former manufacturing building. It's a fifth floor walk-up, but there is a service elevator available. Staff of the Berlin Youth Hotel, which shares the building, were very helpful with maintenance issues during my stay. The neighborhood is the Berlin equivalent of Park Slope. Lots of neighborhoody shops, bars, and restaurants.
