Marienburg

Marienburg taps into something that feels very majestic. The over-the-top style isn’t for everyone, but if you want to feel a little regal, this three-bedroom home is for you. A swanky mix of Hollywood Regency and rustic styles, it’s the kind of place that makes you think of German fairytale castles. Schöneberg is full of things to do, especially when it comes to local restaurants and shops.

Home truths:
*This home comes with some wear and tear – we noticed some scuff marks and minor stains on furniture when we visited
*This flat is specially designed for rental guests – just a heads up that it is not a lived-in home if that is the experience you are after
*The host owns several, near-identical homes in the same building – the layout and design might vary slightly depending on which floor you stay on
*This home is filled with weird and wonderful things, if you’re a minimalist at heart, you should probably look elsewhere
*There is an elevator in the building, but it doesn’t stop on the second floor – you’ll have to climb twelve stairs to reach the front door
*This home is filled with fake plants which might not be to everyone's taste
