We stayed at Petra and Otto's for two months and really loved it. The apartment is cozy and great for a couple or a couple with young children. The neighborhood is also great for grown-ups and people with kids, probably not the perfect location for young people who want to party. The tram is literally half a block away, there are cafes, grocery stores and restaurants within a block. The apartment is in an inner courtyard and is quiet. We always felt safe in the neighborhood. There's a Thursday and Saturday farmer's market nearby, a movie theater that shows films in their original language about three blocks away. The park, three blocks away, is lovely for walking or jogging. We particularly loved KaffeeRaum on Hufelanderstrasse for coffee and writing, and Mister Long and Friends is a great Thai restaurant a few blocks away, and there's an empanada place on Marienburgerstrasse we really liked, too. We loved walking and biking everywhere. Petra and Otto responded quickly to our emails, and were kind and friendly.
