Great area! We walked and took the bus everywhere from here! Access to restaurants and bars blocks away. Bus dropped us off directly in front of their place from airport (2 buses + 2 trains before that). Elevator is broken- after running the Berlin Marathon, this was a challenge but not the worst; it's 4 flights of stairs because the first one is their elevator floor. Place is extremely quiet, you can hear a pin drop. So if you're using the restroom, every detail will be heard. Hosts are eager to hear about your day & like to have conversation.
