Our stay at BerlinSurfHostel was great. Our host was super communicative & responded in a more than timely manner to our inquiries. The apt was easy to get to & well located. The kitchen has all the essentials if you plan on cooking. The shower, great, hot water. Although we never visited the bar/food establishments in the immediate area, they seemed to be popular enough. Getting around was simple & the metro, a short walk away. We definitely recommend if you're looking to save some $ & still have good accomodations.
