This home is made of memories – not only Caspar’s but also the school that the 170-year-old Altbau structure used to house. Both rustic and eclectic, it combines Berlin’s rough-around-the-edges aesthetic with industrial elements, crystal chandeliers, Ostbahnhof tiles, and vintage oil paintings. To put it simply, there’s a story behind every single item in this home. A dynamic, creative space that we can’t get enough of, it’s split across three levels – we guarantee you’ll discover something new and surprising at every corner.

About Kreuzberg
Kreuzberg is one of Berlin’s most popular neighbourhoods, partly because of its easy-to-access location, but also because of its urban atmosphere. It’s the neighbourhood that never seems to sleep due to its vibrant nightlife paired with plenty of casual restaurants, street food and art galleries.

Host
This home is managed by Caspar
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Caspar and Sarah are incredibly thoughtful hosts. When we visited their Berlin hideaway, they had fluffy slippers ready for us upon arrival. With an eye for detail, hospitality, and a relaxed attitude, their bohemian spirit is felt throughout their home. Being travellers themselves, they really know what it takes to be excellent hosts.
