My friends and I had a lovely stay at Stella’s place in Friedrichshain. The immediate neighborhood was quiet, but Berlin’s cheap and speedy public transportation meant that we were able to travel freely throughout the city during the day. Though the bunks are quite snug, the living space itself is plenty spacious and the appliances (dishwasher, wash dryer) we’re helpful to have. I’d recommend this spot to anyone on a budget who’s looking to get a dose of Berlin but not keen on feeling like a tourist.
Thanks!
