More time needed on S-Bahn

Posted by robinberlin 25 January 2010

Please note, there are problems with the braking systems of the newer S-bahn trains, any line using them does have restricted service - the ring line, S1 and S2 for instance. Also the lines that run through zoo, Friedrichstrasse, Ostbanhof, the trains can be shorter and very crowded and you may have to change train occasionally. Still good service, but just be alert.

Miniloftmitte Apartments

Posted by elnoelno 20 January 2010

Beautiful family-run loft apartments. It was done in a gorgeous minimalist design with huge windows, heated floors - everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided, including a homemade guidebook with insider tips. Great location in Mitte near public transport, galleries and restaurants. The owner/architect couple also live in the building.

One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to! Those guys sure enough know their business. The food was delicious, the place was cozy and the coffee was amazing - definitely worth a visit.

The Weinerei

Posted by csissons 19 November 2009

A no-strings attached gem, the Weinerei offers unlimited wine, juice, and a meal for a one Euro fee (plus a donation on exit) in central Berlin.

The cafe itself is small, packed with locals and the wine isn't bad either!

A must-visit for budget travellers with a penchant for good wine, conversation and value.
