this is a great spot for travelers who are on a budget. the unit is a 5 minute walk to the bornholmer st. train station where you can easily connect to the city center. there are many restaurants and cafes near by. it is a more quiet part of berlin, which was perfect for us because that’s what we prefer. if you are in good shape, you can also walk to other main attractions within an hour (very enjoyable walk). the unit itself is a tight for two people, but again, if you know this ahead of time, it’s perfectly fine. the host is very hospitable, we were welcomed with fresh bread and were able to do two loads of laundry. for a short trip in berlin, this is a very affordable location!
