Designed in a modern Japandi style, this centrally located apartment is ideal for those looking for a calm stay within easy reach of the city’s most notable sights. While one guest will need to sleep on the sofa bed at full capacity, a Sonos sound system, a coffee and matcha station and a courtyard-facing bedroom are nice touches here that caught our eye. And the dedicated desk space makes this quiet home perfect for those needing to work remotely. You won’t find a TV here, but you’ll hardly notice given the countless things to see and do nearby, including Mauerpark, the Wasserturm Prenzlauer Berg and plenty of public transport options to take you to all corners of the city.

Home truths

    There's no lift in the building, so you'll need to use the stairs to access the apartment – it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility

    This home isn't suitable for infants or children

    At capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area – this will be at the expense of lounge space, however, so we think this home is better suited to two guests

    There's no TV here

    There's a desk here should you need to catch up on work

    The bedroom overlooks the building's communal courtyard

    The building's entrance is shared with the other residents

    There are supermarkets and city bike rentals within a two-minute walk

    We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Berlin on foot or by public transport instead
