Returned from 6 days in Berlin. Solid experience.
Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $45/night. Walking distance to everything.
Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Food was cheap and delicious.
Safety:
Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 8/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
