We booked this place based on the other glowing reviews and they didn't exaggerate! Fantastic location, super-clean, stocked with everything you might need (it was really nice to be able to do a load of laundry)--four thumbs up! I thought it might be loud due to all the restaurants on the street, but you're in a lovely courtyard and it's peaceful and quiet. The bed was so cozy we kept finding ourselves sleeping 9+ hours a night (so set your alarm so you don't miss out on seeing all the amazing sights in Berlin!). We didn't get a chance to try many of the local restaurants, but they looked incredible and you'll have no limit of variety. There are also several grocery stores nearby in case you'd like to cook. Not too far from the U-Bahn station, so it's easy to get around, but you can also walk to sights like the East Side Gallery. The neighborhood felt very safe and family-friendly (I don't think I've ever seen so many babies!), but there are also plenty of bars and nightlife. Enjoy!
