If you're looking for a place to stay in Berlin that's more unique than a hotel, and more like an Airbnb, but with the security and conveniences of a hotel, look no further than Linnen. I stayed in Room 1 with my partner for ten days this June. The room was more like a small one bedroom apartment, with a beautiful balcony and huge bathroom. Bed was large and comfortable, the WiFi was great, and the niceties the wonderful owners provide downstairs in the kitchen and lobby are so thoughtful. They have food, filtered water, and even an impressive coffee machine that we took advantage of every morning. Everyone will have their own opinion of what makes for the best neighborhood, but Prenzlauer was a dream for us. Both the train and tram are two minutes walking distance. Tons of great food and drink options nearby. And, I hardly heard anyone else in the hotel from our room. Two things to consider, though: Berlin was hot when we were there. More or less 30C every day. Luckily, Linnen lent us a fan to use, and honestly we would have struggled without it. Just be prepared. I believe other rooms have their own ceiling fans. And, at least from Room 1, the tram that passes by all day and all night is rather loud, and literally shakes the room. Our fan muted the noise, and we didn't wake up too often from the shaking, but it's definitely something to be aware of. Perhaps the other rooms don't feel it as much as ours!
