Zentraler kann man nicht wohnen. Uns hat es gut gefallen. Hier noch ein paar hilfreiche Fakten: Die Wohnung liegt im dritten Stock (kein Aufzug) und besteht aus drei Schlafzimmern mit insgesamt sechs Einzelbetten (2x3 Betten, 1x1 Bett) sowie einer Küche. Ein Wohnzimmer und Fernseher gibt es daher nicht. Die Fenster sind kaum zu verdunkeln und bei geöffneten Fenstern ist aufgrund der zentralen Lage der Straßenlärm zu hören. In der Wohnung war alles vorhanden, was wir benötigten. In der Straße vor dem Haus kann zum Ausladen gehalten werden. Eine Garage zum Parken wird vom Vermieter gegen Gebühr angeboten. Alternativ kann man im Parkhaus beim Einkaufszentrum Alex oder einem anderen Parkhaus parken und dann mit dem Bus oder der U-Bahn zurück zur Wohnung fahren. Ein Supermarkt, zwei Bäcker, sowie Bus- und U-Bahn-Station sind in der Nähe. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war hervorragend. Ebenso die Anweisungen für den Checkin. Wer als Gruppe eine Basis zur Erkundung von Berlin benötigt, ist in dieser Wohnung richtig aufgehoben. ##### Markus T.
