Located in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg, Creative Writing perfectly summarises Berlin’s vibrant spirit. The little balcony opens up to a beautiful residential street, allowing you to unwind while soaking up some of the special neighbourhood feel. We love all the posters (including The New Yorker covers in the bathroom), as well as the impressive collection of houseplants. While it feels and looks very young, anyone would like this home, especially if you’re keen to live in one of the city’s most charming neighbourhoods.

About Prenzlauer Berg

As Berlin’s epicentre of all things family-oriented, Prenzlauer Berg is a popular spot if you are looking for a neighbourhood with character and liveliness mixed with peaceful, tree-lined streets and pre-war buildings.
