Berlin Boutique Apartments, Berlin, Germany - Explore & Book

"Part of Berlin’s special appeal is its energetic, anything-goes vibe. And there is no better place to experience this than in the Prenzlauer Berg district, with its bohemian atmosphere and thriving café culture. With no signage outside, the apartments are discreetly located in a renovated late-19th-century tenement block on Oderberger Straße - one of the area’s prettiest and most vibrant streets, choc-a-block with cosmopolitan restaurants and boutiques. For Anglophile owner Simon, who lives in the same block with his family, renovating the apartments has been a labour of love: today, bold colour schemes, plush fabrics and decorative wallpapers combine with vintage and bespoke furniture to give the apartments a retro-meets-luxury vibe. Communal areas are also being improved, with the addition of lifts, a landscaped courtyard and freshly decorated hallways.Dispersed throughout the building - some of the apartments face the road, others the inner courtyard - your direct neighbour is likely to be a local. A mix of studios, 1-bed and 2-bed apartments, there's something for everyone (couples, friends, families). All of the apartments are fully self-catering, but if you don’t feel like cooking, there are eateries in abundance in the immediate vicinity, including Café Krone, which is in the same building and extremely popular with locals.
