Having been designed by an architect, Woodshop comes with the most spectacular details. We love the bespoke shelves, curated pops of colour, and the fun mix of vintage and contemporary Scandi-style furniture in an industrial-meets-Altbau shell. All artworks are created by local artists, so it’s safe to say that this home channels something that feels very Berlin. We’re sure you will also love the in-house coffee shop and yoga studio. *We know we’re picky, but the bedding isn’t as luxurious as we would have liked it to be*There’s currently no home manual, you may have to ask for help on how to use the appliances*While the kitchen is well-equipped, it doesn’t have an oven*There’s a lift in the building, but it’s sometimes out of use*Aside from a collection of books, there are not a lot of entertainment options in this home*The bathrooms are a little tired looking – the grouting, in particular, could do with some attention*Tall people be ...More Details

Animalia is one of those homes that manages to tell a story. All the artworks are original pieces made by the host and his father, and the beautiful vintage-style cast iron chairs are sourced from his uncle’s bar. The space could be a bit tight for six guests, but it would be perfect for a family or a small group of friends coming to experience the city.Bright and minimalist, it's a home with a spectacular view too. On the top floor and boasting not one but two spacious terraces, you can gaze across the rooftops and make the most of the evening sunshine in the summer months. The nearby church makes for an impressive backdrop and if you're hooked on views you can even visit it on a Sunday and climb its tall tower.Inside, white walls and pine floors mix with sloping ceilings, plentiful house plants and little dashes of character, to make for a relaxing, stylish city home. You'll have a bedroom sleeping up to three and the living room easi...More Details

Parsley is like instant happiness – it's full of colour, chic decor and luscious houseplants. We love the bright shades of green mixing with the more saturated hues for an eye-catching look. There's somewhat of a 1960s feel to the apartment that we find super stylish and refreshing. There's a range of retro prints and tasteful artwork around the home too and the best part about it all? These trendy interiors are inside a charming Altbau building, with heaps of character, big windows and high ceilings, creating a bright and airy space to relax. The location is also great, with Alexanderplatz less than a five-minute walk away, equalling easy access to some of Berlin’s most popular sights. You're just over a kilometre from Museum Island, plus the eight courtyards of Hackesher Market are right around the corner. *At capacity, four people will be sleeping on sofa beds in the living room *There’s no TV in this home (only a computer screen)*I...More Details

Sage looks like it’s stuck in a bohemian moment of the 1960s – and we're here for it. Positively brimming with retro furniture, hip artwork, and a vibrant colour palette, it’s like breathing in a breath of fresh air. We love that all of this is happening inside an old Altbau building, with big windows and high ceilings, allowing plenty of natural light to stream through the large bedrooms and spacious communal areas. It's a real crowd-pleasing home, with three brightly coloured bedrooms, each with their own eclectic prints, funky patterns and green houseplants. Set against the backdrop of Mitte, it’s in an excellent location for exploring too. Alexanderplatz is around the corner (a five-minute walk away) – and if you feel like exploring Museum Island, it’s less than fifteen minutes from home by foot. *At capacity, four people will be sleeping on sofa beds in communal areas*The bathroom is a little tired-looking – the grouting in the ba...More Details

With a huge vinyl collection, guitars on the walls and an out-of-this-world sound system, there’s no doubt that Melomania is a music lover’s dream. It’s stylishly decorated with splashes of colour, relaxing balconies and a rooftop with striking 360 views of Berlin’s rooftops. And let’s not forget about the open shower. We love that everything is designed with meticulous attention to detail, making for a luxurious stay in one of Berlin’s hippest neighbourhoods. * There’s currently no home manual — you’ll have to ask for help on how to use the appliances* This is a lived-in home — expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings* Guests 3 and 4 would be on a double bed on the mezzanine level* The fridge can currently only be opened from the top — the host is working on changing this* Kreuzberg is very hip and popular with a bar-loving, partying crowd — if you’re looking for peace and quiet, you should probably look elsewhere*...More Details

Once you’ve braved the stairs to reach Airwaves (all five floors), you’re justly rewarded. The flat is small, but it’s been put together wonderfully, with every inch of space used, and used well. The furniture skews vintage, and combined with the pared-back aesthetic, the whole flat feels like a haven, away from the hectic streets below. And those streets can get busy. Friedrichshain has one of the best art and music scenes in Europe, and Airwaves is as good a place as any from which to explore. *The flat's on the top floor and there's not lift – get ready for a lot of stairs*A cat usually lives here, and while it'll be away during your stay, people with allergies might want to take note*The kitchen's very cute, but it doesn't have an oven*There's no TV in the flat – you'll have to entertain yourself*There are a lot of bars in the area, and it can get lively BalconyBathrobesBathtubBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingCleaning Prod...More Details
Small yet full of charisma, The Mime is great for travellers looking for a cosy base close to Rosenthaler Platz. From the funky wallpaper to vegan soaps, everything’s curated with great attention to detail. We also love the eclectic mix of romantic vintage furniture, Oriental-style trinkets, and fun, flamboyant colour accents. * Since there are no windows in the bathroom, there’s little natural ventilation* There’s currently no home manual*When we visited, the wifi wasn’t as fast as we would have liked*The vintage sofa is beautiful, but it also comes with some wear and tear*Your host owns multiple apartments within this building, so the exact view, furnishings and layout might differ from the photos BathtubBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherDVD PlayerFanHair DryerIronKitchenLift AccessMicrowaveMultiple Sets of KeysRain ShowerTVWi-fi...More Details
