Kreuzberg / Unique Artist Residence & Atelier

This apartment is a conceptual gallery, full of aesthetic, and, idiosyncratic decor. Beautiful bath, spacious living areas, and a nice and dark bedroom are great. A kitchen with no sink? Almost No overhead lights, and those that are there have no clear way to turn them off? Better to light the walls and corners full of sculpture and installations.The included laundry was a plus, though hidden behind heavy wood pallets. The floor is split between “no shoes” and “must have shoes due to flaking paint from the communist era” so bring your slippers. As a visitor from the States, this is my picture of living like a Bohemian Berliner to a T, and you should probably try it if that’s what you are looking for.Let’s talk about some highlights that make this place a gem: the bath tub is luxurious and big enough for two. The location is exceptional, close to the U7 subway, parks, restaurants, and nightlife of Kreuzberg, all in walking distance.The hosts are very nice, and we wish them all the best, whether they choose to rent their place out again or not.

This space is literally an art gallery with a living space included. The host is quite helpful and friendly. If you are (like me) a person who enjoys staying in rare and unique locations, this is a must for a very Berlin-centric visit.
