Kemal sent detailed instructions and information about the listing, check-in/-out procedures, and the neighborhood.

Getting there was a breeze on the bus from the Hbf (train station). It's longer from Tegel Airport, but still very easy on the U-bahn (underground). We were informed of the city-tax, didn't have the money in cash at check-in, and were permitted to leave the cash on departure. We were settled in minutes and on our way to the Berlin center (Mitte) shortly. The U-bahn stop and the bus are all very, very close.

The neighborhood, Kreuzeberg, is historic and needs no introduction.
