It is close to the Metro/U-bahn and only three metro stations away from the famous Alexanderplatz. The flat is very quiet, so also is the neighborhood. There is a shop just across the street for food, snacks and beverages and much more. Very convenient. I found the eastern part of the city much better than the western part. The host is welcoming and make you feel comfortable. And the 100 steps its a easy match :-) My recommendation to Christians place.
