Jan's apartment is in an incredibly convenient, low-key spot. It is close to many things, but the neighborhood feels quiet. Yet, if you turn the corner, you can board the Sbahn and get wherever you need to go. The Restaurant Giraffe is very cozy and homey and was great to run down to when we didn't want to go far. It is only about 5-10 minute walk to several grocery stores. While the apartment isn't fancy by any means, it is clean, comfortable, and makes you feel at home. The view from the balcony, however, is stunning and you can see many of Berlin's landmarks. I also enjoyed going through runs in Tiergarten, which is the enormous park Jan's apartment is located next to. Jan was very accommodating and cordial. I'd highly recommend staying here if you are looking for nice, but not luxurious, accommodations in a conveniently located spot.
