I had to quickly book this place because of issues with my initial apartment (it happens, we are all people). Picked this one because of the location, more or less comparable price and good reviews. And didn’t regret it at all!
Honestly - I loved the location even more. It’s super close to the metro line which is probably the best one for visitors, because it goes through Alexanderplatz and Friedrichstrasse straight to X-berg.
The area itself is also worth seeing, there are lots of great places right near you (Ben Rahim for coffee and breakfast, Cocolo Ramen - legend! Altes Europe - the cozy local place right nearby etc.) , and it’s so safe and peaceful, so many little beautiful streets around!
The place is just great and has everything needed (at least for me). It’s pretty minimalistic yet well organized. WiFi worked perfectly, no probs with hot water or heating, hairdryer available, pretty comfy bed and windows to the backyard.
Just the two watch-outs: the bed is low (I have problems with my back and still it was ok, but it depends) and no elevator. I didn’t see it a problem, but worth mentioning.
The host himself was brilliant - quick reaction, willing to help, very welcoming.
