quiet studio | 1 min walk to metro, 5 min to parks

A 1 min walk to the metro (!), a ~13min ride to Alexanderplatz and ~46min to the airport, this studio is the ideal base for short stays in Berlin. Located centrally, in one of Berlin's most bustling, characteristic and cosmopolitan areas, the flat is bright, comfy, and super-served: a supermarket right across the street, 2 malls, 2 parks (the renowned Tempelhofer Park!), as well as plenty of art venues, international eateries, typical Berlin bars, all within a 5min walk. The space The flat is on the second floor (no elevator) of a building from the early 20th century. It has high ceilings, a beautiful, dark glazed, original wooden floor and 3 large windows looking out onto a large, green, quiet space in the middle of the block. The studio consists of the private living, dining, workspace and kitchen areas that you see in the pictures. The sleeping couch (double bed size - 1.4m x 2m) quickly converts back to a proper couch to make space for the living area. A desk is there for working with your laptop. The kitchen area is fitted with oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle, egg boiler, keurig. It is a smart home, which provides comfort for guests but also requires them to have a certain level of acquaintance with digital technology, as well as having a mobile Internet connection. The bathroom is fully equipped with a toilet, a shower, a sink, and a washing machine. Being a traveler myself, I know very well how annoying and wasteful it is having to buy basic necessities just for a few days spent away from home. That's why you'll find all the basic stuff to live the flat right away: bedding, towels, toiletries, cooking basics, silverware, condiments, spices, tea, coffee. Please read the bureaucratic requirements (house rules) to be sorted out at the time of booking. Please note that my flat is neither kosher, nor halal or vegetarian: the one freezer drawer I reserve for my own food might contain frozen pork meat. Guest access You'll have exclusive access to the studio during your reservation. Specifically, to the the living, dining, workspace and kitchen areas that you see in the pictures.

On one hand, this means I'd like to have an idea of who I'm about to welcome in it before actually doing so. So introduce yourself in detail when inquiring or booking (First and last name/who you are/what you do/purpose of your trip). On the other, it also means that it may not be possible for me to arrange some stays - independently from what the calendar shows - for a number of contingent, organisational reasons.
