You should know

• You will be required to climb steps to this apartment as there is no lift access.
• Your host owns multiple apartments in this building, so the exact furnishings, view and layout might differ slightly from the photos.
• This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
• Your host asks that you please respect quiet hours between 10pm and 8am.

Berlin and the Mediterranean may be worlds apart from one another, but with a stay in this home, you'll experience a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of one of Europe's liveliest cities. Only an eight-minute drive to the centre of Berlin, this apartment is an ideal base for exploring the city.

Maybe you want to immerse yourself in the local Prenzlauer Berg district filled with chic shops and eateries or take a ten-minute stroll to Mitte – an area known for its fascinating art galleries and museums.

That being said, we wouldn't blame you if you just wanted to stay at the apartment and enjoy it for the cosy hideaway it is. With your own private balcony and access to an exotic Mediterranean courtyard with a koi pond, you'll love whiling away time here in between your adventures around Berlin. Who would have thought a city break could be so relaxing?

As Berlin’s epicentre of all things family-oriented, Prenzlauer Berg is a popular spot if you are looking for a neighbourhood with character and liveliness mixed with peaceful, tree-lined streets and pre-war buildings. Bearing associations to counterculture when it was an East Berlin district, the neighbourhood has since experienced rapid gentrification going from a gritty, un-kept neighbourhood with grey facades and empty apartments to a hipster-turned-parent mecca with a thriving health food scene, tonnes of playgrounds, green parks, and child-friendly cafés.

Much of the former street culture that used to be an integral part of Prenzlauer Berg life is still around, albeit in more polished versions in the shape of street art and cultural initiatives like the former brewery-complex-turned-cultural centre, KulturBrauerei. Prenzlauer Berg is also home to a fair share of concept stores, small boutique shops and some casual nightlife that’s enriched by students living in the area.
