My Favorite Airbnb: A Light-Filled Duplex in Berlin's Stately Prenzlauer Berg District | Condé Nast Traveler

"When browsing for Airbnbs for my first trip to Berlin—an extension of a business trip—I was not only looking for a place that would offer the same design caliber of the city’s distinctive hotels, but I also needed a rental that would have a good remote workspace, too. I settled on a duplex in Prenzlauer Berg, the quiet and charming neighborhood in northern Berlin. In addition to a large dining area to serve as my office, the major draw of this two-story apartment was its sweeping wall of windows and skylights. The overall effect was lounging in a light-filled glass jewel box—a particularly rare feeling during a gray winter in Berlin. Sipping my coffee there in the morning sun was almost enough to make an early bird out of me."
