Great place, even though it might seem that it is not that close to the center in terms of distance, it is really close to the S-Bahn station. With the S5 and S7, you can easily get around the city and it might take you less time compared to a place that is more central. The room where we stayed was really clean and the host is really nice, the service was similar to a hotel but for a much cheaper price. Highly recommend.
