This is an OUTSTANDING location for the Berlin Marathon and really walking throughout town or using the metro. We rented this apartment for 1 week for the 2019 Berlin Marathon. We accessed the subway primarily via the Brandenburg Tor S station. We walked to many places from our apartment as well. There are a few restaurants within the building and others close by
the "traditional german food" restaurant adjacent to our building was quite good as was the italian restaurant on the corner of the building. if you are coming for the marathon, I would suggest making reservations for dinner the evening before the marathon if you plan to eat out.
the Mall of Berlin is within walking distance (10 minutes) and we walked there for groceries the day of our arrival.
our other suggestions for "traditional bavarian style german food" include Maximillians and Augustiner--both within walking distance.
the hotel across the street has a great bar for late night drinks.
We would rent this location again without any hesitation
