Been thinking about visiting Berlin and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.
