Friedrichshain is a cute neighbourhood, with a farmers market every Saturday at the beautiful Boxhagener Platz square. Surrounded by Barrista coffee shops, good restaurants (also many vegan options), places for brunch, cute little neighbourhood shops and a local cinema in original language, this is the perfect place for a stay in Berlin with a local feel, yet close to metro, tram and train to reach all sights and museums in just around 20 minutes. Under the flat is a bakery that still bakes their own goods which is perfect for the weekends.
