Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
As soon as we set foot in Crossword Puzzles, we noticed the light-filled atmosphere. The host, Claus, also tells us of the amazing sunsets that flood the space, along with the excellent views of Berlin’s rooftops. Boasting lots of lovely features (the balcony is also a favourite of ours), we also can’t get over the fun and personal touches like the blue fridge, accent walls, and photos of Athens. Tucked away in Prenzlauer Berg, you’re within walking distance to some of Berlin’s most charming restaurants, bars, and coffee shops – as well as Mauerpark.
