When you're visiting one of the coolest cities in the world, it's only right that you stay in an apartment to match. Cloaked in muted blacks, space greys, and nearly-black teals, this apartment is impossibly stylish. Not only is it stylish, but it's also perfectly situated for exploring East Berlin. You'll love waking up after a restful sleep in the luxurious bed queen size bed, and then heading downstairs to the on-site cafe for a hearty breakfast cooked for you. Then, you're ready to take on the city. Whether you're in Berlin for work or to simply explore the city, convenience is always important. You're just an eight-minute walk away from the U Bahn, the underground subway. From there, you have all of Berlin at your fingertips. In under thirty minutes, you can explore the preserved Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and Karl-Marx-Allee. The city is a fascinating hub of culture, history, and politics. It's also a great night out. You're right in the heart of Friedrichshain, a cool and alternative neighbourhood. Hop on the U Bahn for thirty minutes for a night at the famous Berghain (if you get in!), or stay closer to home and make the eight-minute walk to the Warschauer Bridge. Whatever night out you're looking for, you'll find it in Friedrichshain. By day, the neighbourhood is dotted with artisan coffee shops, restaurants, independent shops, and people relaxing at the park, Boxhagener Platz. The park is much loved by the locals and holds a flea market every Sunday, a must-see while you're in Berlin.
