Berlin Design Apartment, Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany - Explore & Book

"The Berlin Wall toppled 30-odd years ago, but the city remains divided – only this time it’s between the genteel western districts and the achingly cool eastern boroughs. Chief among the latter is Kreuzberg, a vibrant enclave for the terminally hip, where fashion, music, food, clubbing, art and fun collide.In a city where multiple-room apartments are hard to come by, Berlin Design Apartment is a rarity – a colourful four-bedroomed haven that can accommodate up to eight adults. A former office, the first thing that strikes you is the amount of space: the high ceilings, huge dining and kitchen area, and expansive reception room. The second thing is the bold modern design: the attention to detail is impressive, from the fitted fixtures and funky colour scheme to the quirky objets and designer lighting. Despite the strong aesthetic, the apartment has a homely charm that emphasises comfort and calm – whether you’re sprawling on that vast chenille sofa or gossiping around the eight-seater dining table. Across the road is the pretty Viktoria Park. A 10-minute stroll will take you to buzzy Bergman Strasse, while a 30-minute walk takes you to the Brandenburg Gate, the Tiergarten and all the sights that make Berlin famous. Highs Quintessential Berlin is literally on your doorstep; the tourist parts are easily walkable, while the nearby S-Bahn provides quick access to the city’s major attractions The design is exemplary, but even small details have been considered, such as kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, oils etc) Owners Nils and Yannis have a QR code on the kitchen table that takes you to a regularly updated map showing their favourite bars and restaurants nearby Four bedrooms give flexibility for guests, whether a couple of families or groups of friends Lows The two front bedrooms are beside a busy road. Thick window glazing and electric shutters mean they’re not noisy, but you will hear the hum of traffic The back bedrooms are beside the kitchen and curtained off – so probably not best for those who want to retire early Only one bathroom – however, it is sectioned off into toilet, shower and handbasin areas so still usable by multiple people No twin beds" - Sean Lynn
