This home is perfect for one or two people, with a double sofa-bed in the third room for occasional additional guests. The apartment is fitted out in style, including a high-spec media system, landline and broadband wifi.

There’s also a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, entrance hall, a hall between the bedroom and study, and a stunning balcony, overlooking the treetops and with sun all day. The study and main room face east, with bright morning sun, the kitchen and bedroom west into the sunset. There are also views north to Potsdamer Platz. There's a large communal back garden behind the building. The apartment has been lovingly refurbished, with a solid oak floor, air conditioning and new appliances. It’s well insulated – cosy in winter (it has its own boiler for heating and instant hot water) and air-conditioned in the summer.

The apartment is on the top (fourth) floor of a pretty 1920s building; it was converted in the 1990s and fully renovated recently. It’s in a quiet residential area, about 1.5km from Tempelhofer Feld (the old airport, now Berlin's largest park, great for walking, jogging, biking etc.), and very well connected. Südkreuz station is less than five minutes’ walk, with direct S-Bahn trains to the city centre (c. 10 minutes to Potsdamer Platz, Brandenburg Gate, Friedrichstraße), Brandenburg airport (c. 30 min.) and stations on the ‘Ring’; direct intercity trains to e.g. Dresden, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Prague. The A100 motorway (c. 20 min. to the airport) is close enough for quick access, but far enough not to be audible. There are three supermarkets within walking distance (the closest is 1 minute walk), a bakery just down the street, and other local shops (choice of bakers, butcher, delicatessen, bike shop etc.) at Platz der Luftbrücke, 5 minutes by bus or bike; there’s a big Ikea and Bauhaus (DIY/garden centre) within walking distance. Two nice areas for cafes and restaurants are Akazienkiez and Bergmannkiez, each about 10 minutes by bus/bike. There are plenty of cycle racks outside (front and back), and a large communal back garden. Street parking is metered. Minimum term 3 months, maximum negotiable. This is our much-loved Berlin home: we handle bookings ourselves, but a property agent in Berlin manages arrivals/departures and is on call 24/7 throughout your stay. ******For a 3-dimensional tour, please see the link below*****
