With its incredibly high ceilings (the kind that are hard to document in photos), The Cornelia makes for a pretty comfortable base. The huge windows let in a lot of light, and the lively colour scheme makes this home welcoming and inviting. The immediate area isn’t the most lively, but you’re only a twenty-minute walk from Charlottenburg Palace – as well as its many collections. Alternatively the Expo Center is just around the corner for all business travellers.

Home truths:
*The dining room and kitchen are together in one room
*The immediate neighbourhood isn’t lively, but you’re only a short bus ride from the centre of Charlottenburg and the Expo Centre
*It's on the first floor – you have to climb seven steps to reach the front door
