Step out the door and walk one minute to groceries, one minute to U-Bahn and bus, three minutes to S-Bahn, and less than 20 minutes to lots of good stuff like Alexanderplatz, Fernsehturm, Museumsinsel, etc. The apartment had more amenities than we needed and the street noise wasn't enough to keep us awake at night. Ivos is a very nice and interesting person who spent some time chatting with us during check-in. He gave us lots of great tips about Berlin. This was one of the best AirBnB experiences we've had.
