This is an ideal Berlin place to stay. The neighborhood is unique and cool - it doesn't get more DDR than this. It was also very accessible, a quick U-Bahn or walk to Alexanderplatz. The apartment itself was extremely clean and cozy. Rene was a very generous and accomodating host. It had everything I needed and was very relaxing to come home to after a day of sightseeing. All in all a great experience!
