If a typical Berlin flat in the heart of trendy Friedrichshain is what you’re after, then Garnet Touch is perfect for you. With a fully equipped kitchen and a small bedroom, we would recommend this home for a single traveller or young couple. It faces the backyard and can therefore be a little dark, but with the nearest train station only 500 metres away and Boxhagener Platz and its weekend food and flea market, we doubt you’ll be spending much time indoors anyway.

Home truths:
*The mattress in the bedroom is on the floor without a bed frame
*Unfortunately, the home can be a little dark
*There is no elevator, so guests will have to climb the stairs to the third floor
*Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was not as strong as we would like (only 13mbps)
*There are some signs of wear and tear
