On the top floor of a beautiful 1900s building, we find Blonde Venus. We love its roomy terrace with views of Berlin, perfect for warm summer evenings - as well as its location in funky Kreuzkölln, which lies in the intersection of Kreuzberg and Neukölln. This three-bedroom home has a lot of charm, especially when it comes to all the intact characteristics that allude to the building’s past.

Home truths
Neither of the bathrooms have low-voltage plugs
The lift is not suitable for wheelchairs
When we visited, we saw some scuff marks on the walls
Because the home isn’t baby-proof, the host has decided to rent it out to adults and older children only
Bedroom 3 is on the smaller side
Tall people be aware - the shower in bathroom 2 is only 195 cm tall

There’s no AC - and since it’s the top floor flat, it can get hot in the summer months
Kreuzkölln is on the up, but it's not quite like Kreuzberg yet

Local guide
About Neukölln
Neukölln is a hub of contrasts. Located in south Berlin, parts of Neukölln have been gentrified and are home to an artsy, hipster crowd that frequent the atmospheric vegan restaurants, vintage shops and independent art galleries, while other parts of the neighbourhood are still rough and rowdy, and therefore best avoided.
