Mise en Scene
The Witty Musician
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

Icons of industrial design meet distinctive art pieces created by the host’s father in this charming flat located in Winsviertel, a small neighbourhood within fashionable Prenzlauerberg. Filled with natural light and modern silhouettes, this two-bedroom home is suitable for young and old - small toys and single beds keep the children happy, while the wine cooler and balcony with stunning views of the TV Tower are for the adults. * The layout of the flat is not ideal - to enter the master bedroom, you need to walk through the children's bedroom* It can sleep up to 5 people, but 3 of the guests would have to be children* Everything's managed from afar, so there can be delays in response time due to time differences * The kitchen is on the smaller side* Even though there’s an elevator in the building, you will still need to climb 18 stairs to reach the flat * Watch your head on the sloped ceilings in both bedrooms Air ConditioningBalcony...More Details

At Balances, you’ll find industrial-inspired exposed brick and pipework, which the host has lovingly combined with minimalist furnishings that give this home a New York-like appeal. It is situated on the lower ground floor, but with plenty of natural light and its location on a quiet street, we’re willing to look past this minor detail. More importantly, Balances sits smack dab between some of Berlin’s most famous, and most important, sites. You can easily walk around this part of town visiting modern art galleries, historic museums or the Berlin Wall Memorial. *This home is located on the ground floor of the building and your bedroom faces the street*Guests three and four will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area*When we visited the Wi-Fi wasn’t working *The kitchen is small and equipped with only the basics Black-Out BlindsBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCentral HeatingDishwasherFanHome Cinema SetupIronMicrowaveMultiple Sets of KeysNe...More Details
Birdland oozes charisma. Designed for families by a family, it’s full of cosy nooks and personal details in a stunning Altbau shell. Travis and Aga love nature, which is evident in all of their artwork, huge book collection, and earthy colour palette. The master bedroom is lovely, but we can’t get over the second bedroom – the loft-bed with a bookshelf staircase is both innovative and eye-catching. Located in Kreuzberg, it’s right by the Landwehr Canal, one of Berlin’s most charming spots. *This home is suitable for small groups and families only, no parties or raucous behaviours are tolerated*There’s currently no home manual*Some features won’t be allowed for guests to use, like the heating stove in the kitchen and the cupboard in the hallway*The kitchen is a bit dark*A dog usually lives here, it won’t be around during your stay, but allergies might be an issue*If you’re staying for a longer time, Aga and Travis might ask you to wate...More Details

Marina's Edge
Located in the most northern reaches of Germany, we can clearly see a summer holiday playing out in this fantastic home. With a pool table, table football and pool – not at all forgetting the hot tub, positioned like a crow’s nest so you’re able to keep an eye on the little ones playing in the pool – this modern cabin is a careful balance of entertainment and relaxation. Practice mindfulness in the private steam room before enjoying a hearty breakfast whilst a second pot of coffee percolates. Gather everyone together for a sunscreen check and head out for the day. Your paths could diverge here – thrillseekers may look to the waters for kite surfing or sailing, whilst the nature reserve, hiking trails or beach is likely to be a more attractive prospect for anyone wanting to unwind. Meet back up with hired bicycles at the ready and take the scenic route to one of the restaurants for an evening meal filled with stories of the day's adventu...More Details
