There’s nothing generic about Lofty Ideals. It has lots of vintage items thrown together with flair and originality. Colours, patterns, textures, plants – it feels alive and inspiring with little touches of Los Angeles, the host’s hometown. A bohemian dream, this one-bedroom loft in Kreuzberg also has some rugged features to it, but they only add more charm to this very, very cool home.

Home truths:
* Tall people be aware - the shower is only 190 cm tall
* This home is located on the fifth floor with no elevator - be prepared for a lot of up and down
* Guests 3 and 4 would be on a futon in the living room
* The bed is on the floor, so don’t expect the most luxurious sleeping experience you have ever had
* This home is definitely not for the minimalist souls out there
* This is a lived-in home - expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings
