Elegant and bright, with bohemian touches, this delightful little home is in the vibrant Kreuzberg neighbourhood, known for its art galleries and nightlife. Part of a typical period building, it's overlooking a courtyard and boasts that all-important outside space – a pretty balcony with herb pots just off the kitchen. The decor is kept relaxing and neutral, with warmth added by the dark wood floors, colourful rugs and a huge monstera plant hanging over the table. from the living room window, you can take in the street views and watch the locals go about their day. It’s right opposite Markthalle Neun, one of the city’s most popular spots for trying out international cuisines and street food, and it's easy to get around with Friedrichshain and Neukölln easily reached on foot.
