The Livin’ Is Easy: Berlin

Minimalist vibes ooze from this chic Berlin apartment. The exposed concrete walls, high ceilings, custom-made furniture, and industrial-sized windows create a modern loft-like vibe. Unfortunately, the balcony is shared with the neighbouring apartment and the kitchenette offers minimal support for cooking, so it’s not the kind of place where you cook up a storm. The lack of artwork on the walls might make it feel a little too minimalist to some, but if you’re interested in architecture, we’re sure you’ll appreciate all of the innovative and original features as much as we do.

Home truths:
*When we visited, there was a lot of construction going on nearby. This should only be a temporary situation, but please be aware that there may be construction noise
*This apartment only has a kitchenette and no oven, only a small microwave, so don’t expect to flex your culinary muscles here
*Be prepared to roll up your sleeves, there is no dishwasher here
*This is a rental unit and lacks that homely touch, so if you are looking for a very characterful stay, we recommend looking elsewhere
*There is no washer/dryer in this unit, but guests can use the building’s communal laundry facility at an extra cost
