Emir's place is clean and stylish. It's only a couple of minutes from the Deutsche Oper U-Bahn station with lots of food places near by. I love the convergence of a heritage feel with a modern touch. It is up a number of flights of stairs as is mentioned in the listing, but it's a great building with a fantastic courtyard entrance, and the exercise is just a bonus! Check-in was perfect and his brother greeted me and helped me with warm hospitality. The bed was comfortable and the room was warm. I'd stay there again.
