We loved staying here. The flat was clean and full of character, with great art on the walls. It was tempting just to stay there the whole time and not go out! The swimming pool and sauna was a real luxury, the pool being a decent size for a proper swim and nice and warm. We had missed that there was an extra fee for using these, but Marga was very reasonable about it. The area was very nice, amongst backstreets of old and modern houses, all with a distinctively German style. It is easy to reach Alexanderplatz by bus in around ten minutes, if a little far out if you want to walk everywhere and be central. For a proper German restaurant that manages to be wildly kitch without crossing over into parody, it's a short walk to Zur Haxe. It has veggie options too (but not vegan).
