Berlin - which part would suit us to stay in?

Obviously looking for a nice area, but want somewhere with a choice of restaurants within walking distance. Also, where we can walk to a few of the main attractions, and if not has good transport links. Always, like being near water, so if that was within 10 mins walk that would be great. Sorry realise we're asking for a lot.

Mitte has everything you're after. Berlin is really easy to get around on foot or public transport. We've stayed in a few of these and loved them, particularly the Park Studios www.linnenberlin.com/phone/locations.html
