Wonderful space for writing, relaxing, and enjoying Berlin away from the busy, busy tourist areas. But the access to various pubic transit routes to reach the "key" tourist spots is great: street cars, buses, subways, and above ground rail. The apartment is in a residential area, which is perfect for those interested in enjoying Berlin at a more relaxed pace. Using the easily accessible transit gets you to major "hot spots" in Berlin in roughly 30-60 minutes. The apartment balcony, expresso maker, and microwave were big pluses, too!
