Great location with lots of cool places to eat and drink nearby. 24h shops,so you never have to go hungry. Loved the Turkish shop downstairs with yummy delights! There is a post office across the road, too.The Water Tower is an around-the-corner attraction!Tram stops right in front of the house. It takes you to Alexanderplatz or the other way to the ring line. But the flat faces a typical Berlin inner yard, so it's quiet.However, I ran up the wrong set of stairs twice before finding the right one,as it wasn't clear which one it was.I was told "Garden House", but in Berlin that does not refer to a quaint little hut in a garden...As it turned out, the entrance to the correct set of stairs was on the right after entering the inner yard.
For the unfit, elderly, lazy or people with heavy luggage: There is no lift and every floor is quite high (high ceilings), so it can be quite an effort... After so many stairs, I was gratified to find the Wifi worked well:0) Hot water was fine.My couch was comfy (my friend had the bed).Andreas wasn't in town, so his girlfriend let us in and showed us everything. She also replied right away about the internet password.Andreas was very responsive and helpful, called from abroad to help figure out the heater!Thank you!
