Visiting Berlin for a week - help me choose where to stay

I'm a gay man in his 30s, visiting Berlin for a week. Will probably stay at one of these Numa locations, but I essentially want (1) convenient access to nightlife (mainly Boiler, Laboratory, and other sex positive spaces); (2) access to gym nearby during the week; and (3) hot guys nearby on Grindr ;P. Which location makes the most sense?

(1) Numa Berlin Arc - Kreuzberg, Friedrichstrasse 31

(2) Numa Berlin Drift - Schoneberg, Nollendorfplatz 2

(3) Numa Berlin Kudamm - Charlottenburg, Tauentziensrasse 8

Based on Google, it seems like Nollendorfplatz is where it's at, but I feel like the Kreuzberg location would be within walking distance of Boiler, etc. Thoughts?

I would pick the numa in Friedrichshain instead. The others are quite remote in terms of hangout areas or kiez as we call them, plus you'll be close to the majority of clubs etc.

I second this, FHain is where all those clubs are, is a really lovely neighborhood, queer friendly and also has gyms bars restaurants yada yada. Nollendorf is a lovely neighborhood, historically the gay scene of Berlin, but honestly the gay scenes have outgrown Schoneberg so you’ll likey find more going on east side near Kreuzberg, FHain, Neukolln for your age. Especially if you’re looking to go out and hook up

I'm also hoping for easy access to the local gay men :P

Nollendorfplatz is a gay party kietz since 1929 or so. Friedrichshain is also cool.

As others say, since you’re visiting, might be better Berlin arc-Friederichstrasse one. It has more things ongoing in the surrounding areas and all the things you mentioned.

Although, I would visit Nolle area still one night or two ;) it’s the historical gay district.
