Thyme Berlin

Property Description

This stylish apartment has a distinct 1960s feel to it. And the best of all, you ask? It’s all happening inside a charming Altbau, with high ceilings and big windows galore. Natural light pours into the spacious communal areas and bedrooms, combing with a mint green colour scheme and an abundance of luscious houseplants to create a calm and breathable apartment to unwind. For those keeping one eye on work during their stay, you'll notice a light-filled desk space to set up a home office. Full of funky patterns, retro tiled flooring and chic decor, you'll find the sociable open-plan space a great spot to hang out with friends and family after a day spent sightseeing around Berlin. Better still, step out onto the private balcony with a glass of something bubbly and watch how the locals go about their daily lives below. The location is as central as it gets, with Alexanderplatz just around the corner (about five minutes on foot) – and if you feel like exploring Museum Island, it’s less than a short fifteen-minute stroll from this crowd-pleasing pad.

Home truths:
*At capacity, four people will be sleeping on sofa beds in the communal area
*It’s on the fourth floor of a building with no lift, so you have to climb eighty-eight steps to reach the front door of the apartment
*The light in the bathroom wasn’t working very well when we visited – the host is working on fixing it
*At just 145cm, the showerhead is quite low
*If you're bringing little ones, the host provides a baby cot
*The workspace is in the second bedroom, rather than a communal area
