Alex's place in Kreuzberg is definitely situated in a great location for your HQ while in Berlin. <10 minutes to U-Bahn and 1 stop on the U-Bahn to S-Bahn, the city and region is just outside your door. Restaurants are abundant (Gude Falafel one of my favorites) and there are three grocery stores within an easy walk. If you are a tennis shoe collector, Berlin's famous Overkill is also close by. Plenty of Ubers on the street and of Berlin's famous bike lanes are also a few meters away from the front door of the apartment. If you are going to be going to clubs in the East you are a short uber away. The apartment itself is spacious, relaxing, and super quiet at night. I was there for a long stay and the few things I needed (Toaster and Blender) Alex brought into the apartment for my stay. The kitchen is in good shape for cooking basic meal and the bathroom has a amazing tub for a bath plus a separate shower which is not common for Berlin!
