I stayed for a month while taking a study course at Alexanderplatz. It was a great location - about 45 minutes walk to the city, and surprisingly quiet. Walking around at night never made me feel unsafe here. There’s a corner store 1 minute away, pizza 5 minutes away (and they do vegan!), Rewe city and DM Markt 10 minutes away, and big grocery stores 20 minutes away. Of course, if you prefer to take the S-Bahn, the stop is also close.
The room was big and quiet, the bed was comfy, the sound system was great, and the high ceilings and balcony gave it such a nice feel even in late autumn. I used the kitchen a lot and never had any issues. After a bit of trouble with water temperature in the shower in the first week it fixed itself and was fine after that.
The roommate Fabian was really nice. I didn’t see him much because of his work hours but he was always friendly and helpful.
The atmosphere alone makes this place really special and made me want to stay here, and I’m glad I did. All the conveniences are just perks!
