Found on the fifth floor, it should come as no surprise that this home offers stunning views of Berlin’s rooftops. You have to climb quite a few levels to get here – we promise the trek is worth it though. Bright and modern with a well-thought-out layout, it’s especially suited for a solo traveller or couple looking for a quirky base – you're also within walking distance to some of Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg's most charming streets. It is a studio (don’t expect lots of space), but there’s still plenty of room to relax, reflect, and get ready for a new day of exploring the city.

Home truths:
*When we visited, the bathroom was tired-looking – the grouting, in particular, could do with some love
*Not everyone will love the free work-out – it’s on the fifth floor with no lift
*There weren’t really any entertainment options – no TV, sound system, or books
*We couldn’t find a home manual
*The kitchen tap/sink needs some attention – we’ve let the host know
