An elegant home in a friendly neighbourhood, this place mixes Italian palazzo style interiors with typical Berlin cool. Masterfully designed by the owners, some of its unique features include a photo wall by a Chicago artist who stayed in the apartment and classical sculptures – most of which the host bought from Italian film director, Franco Zeffirelli. In an attractive Jugendstil building in trendy Prenzlauer Berg, there's fabulous architecture, art and culture all around. Inside, period features and quirky artistic touches make for a real experience, above and beyond your usual rentals. Cook your meals in the smart, modern kitchen and eat either in the charming little dining nook or out on the home's balcony. But it's not a problem if you don't feel like eating at home, with literally hundreds of restaurants within easy walking distance. In a quiet spot, but close to public transport, it's a breeze to explore the city from this little gem. Finish off the night with a drink from the minibar in the home's bedroom.
