We are traveling next year to Berlin with our 3 adult kids ages 21 (twin girls) & 24 (boy). Does anyone have a recommendation for the best area to stay in? We want somewhere hip & trendy with some cool restaurants & bars so the kids will be excited! Of course a safe neighborhood is important too.
Thank you!

Thank you MarkK for the great info! One of the places that we found a nice Airbnb that gets good reviews is in Neukolln, however, since Rick Steves doesn't mention this area, I don't know much about it. I have read that it's a hip & trendy area but also a bit gritty. Seems quite the opposite of Prenzlauer Berg which is Rick Steve's favorite area to stay. My husband wants a place that the kids will think is cool so hip & trendy Neukolln kinda fits that description, but, again, I usually follow Rick's advice. So long explanation for short question of would you recommend staying in Neukolln? Thank you!

I think that cool, hip and trendy can apply to Berlin in general, especially if you're traveling from middle America. We stayed on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg several years and it was a wonderful location. Since you're only there for three nights [ not nearly enough IMHO], access to transportation should be a major consideration.
