Situated in lovely Charlottenburg, The Birgitta is close to Kurfürstendamm – and the Schaubühne is just around the corner, too. This home actually used to be a shop (hence the store-front façade), but it’s been transformed into a place that’s perfect for a family holiday. Nina is an exceptional host. Passionate about welcoming guests, it’s easy to tell that she really cares about making everyone feel at home – and her attention to detail is extraordinary.

Home truths:
*Sadly, it doesn’t get a lot of natural light – it’s only really the living room that’s bright
*The second bedroom doesn’t have a door – it’s in a secluded part of the home, but it’s still not as private as we’d like
*When we visited, the wifi connection wasn’t great in the second bedroom
