We loved our stay. Robert's apartment is up 5 flights of stairs. The guest room and common areas are fabulous, the private bathroom is especially nice. And the roof garden is lovely and has wonderfull views. Robert is a wonderful host. When we first arrived he gave us huge amounts of information about Berlin. He was very available for questions and helped us pint out tickets we needed. This was a good neighborhood to stay in as long as you are interested in a quieter part of town. Most of the night life is in a different sector but it is easy to get to by public transit.
