Planning my first trip to Berlin in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from the US and have experience in Latin America but this would be my first time in Berlin.
Thanks for any help!

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
