Simple Living

You can tell that your host is an architect the minute you walk through this home’s door. Bright and minimalist, it feels like a creative studio with its pared-back furnishings and white walls. And of course, the apartment’s most striking feature – undoubtedly a source of inspiration, creative or otherwise – is its huge picture windows giving way to views towards Alexanderplatz and the Berlin TV Tower. You’ll love cosying up on the window-side bench with your morning cup of coffee while feasting on the vistas, or kicking back on the window-facing sofa with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the city. There’s a cute viewing platform with a skylight too for those who want an even better bird’s eye view while the bedroom’s slanted window lets you wake up and enjoy the city’s rooftops first thing. Outside of your home, you’re a fifteen-minute walk from leafy Volkspark Friedrichshain, a twenty-five-minute stroll from the East Side Gallery, while Alexanderplatz is reachable by public transport in just fifteen minutes.
