Places to Stay for the Berlin Blogmeet

by GilraenH @ Saturday, Mar. 28, 2009 - 16:30:51

Hi there

I have been looking at places to stay for the Berlin Blogmeet and the option of holiday apartments for the three nights seems like a relatively cheap option for staying in the centre of Berlin.

I have been corresponding with one blogger about sharing one of these 2 bedroomed ones, but the more people who come to share, then the cheaper it all becomes (ie, 50 Euros a night becomes 40 Euros a night).

Is there anyone out there with nowhere to stay yet and wouldn't mind sharing?

Here are some links to the site I have been looking at:

Thank you!

Rampage might know which location is best - this one:

http://www.all-berlin-apartments.com/en/details.php?lang=en&productId=927&fromDate=2009-05-27&toDate=2009-06-01&categorySelect=2&numberAdults=2&numberPersons=2&numberChildren=0&numberInfants=0&ref

is at Viktoriapark in Berlin-Kreuzberg and it says "Kreuzberg: Berlin Kreuzberg is characterised by a multicultural atmosphere. There are many little junk-shops, pubs and bars. An event worth seeing is the annual street festival ‘Karneval der Kulturen’ (carnival of cultures). The name of this area of Berlin is derived from the hill Kreuzberg (66 m) in the middle of the Viktoria Park. Since 1820 this hill is a monument – a gothic cross on stone steps. From top of the hill you have a great view over the north of Berlin. The streets Yorkstraße and Gneisenaustraße with loads of bars and restaurants cross the quarter. During daytime the Bergmannstraße is worth visiting with nice cafés, ethnic snack bars and second hand shops. Just a few steps away is the square Chamissoplatz. In this part of Berlin-Kreuzberg there are a couple of streets and blocks that survived the bombings during World War II – one of the most beautiful areas of Berlin. In the north of the quarter you find the famous Checkpoint Charly with a museum and a former GDR watch tower."

Very good location. One u-bahn stop or fifteen minutes walk away from where all the Karneval fun will be happening, two u-bahn stops from my place and four from blog HQ. :)

Also very easy to get to the centre of town from there too. Do it!

I thought it looked a good location - I'm looking at various travel options and trying to work out the best one.

Darn, I won't be able to meet you at the airport.

But I will be able to give you precise instructions on how to get to where you are going. :)

Matey,

Can you give us any thoughts on this location ?

Oderberger Strasse, Prenzlauer Berg.

Cheers

Yeah, it's a great street in a great location. Lots of nice pubs and food possibilities all around, in a very trendy area.

It's quite far from the Karneval fun though, but the public transport is really efficient.

Right-o... thanks for that !

I think the girls will probably go for the other one, but it's good to have a back-up plan.

Annoyed I'm missing out on some fun here... bah !

If - more likely when - we get our apartment then I'm buying a German cookbook and sizzling up some German cuisine!!

(which will probably involve sausages)

Can't you just swipe a plane and come anyway?

I think you should definitely do that.

Any room for a little 'un, i.e. me?

Promise I won't fart too much...

Finances and passport all sorted, I've yet to book flights though. I just want to avoid too much extra expense.
