This neighborhood isn’t like Berlin’s cosier or trendier cafe-lined neighbourhoods but if you are a Cold War nerd it’s a pretty great jumping off spot — Underground is steps away from the front door. The room itself was quiet, spotless, had a balcony window, an excellent bed, and thoughtful touches in the kitchen and the fridge (a welcome Berlin bier). In terms of safety — it’s directly across from police station and there was a security guard located in the lobby.
