Welcome home to this beautifully preserved 1920s Altbau apartment, nestled in the vibrant heart of Berlin-Mitte on Bruesseler Strasse (13353). With 3 rooms, 2 double beds, and ample space for up to 4 people, it’s a rare blend of historic charm, bohemian flair, and modern comfort. This apartment offers an artsy, original Berlin-style vibe — creative, colorful, and full of personality, so guests should expect character rather than a luxury hotel finish.
The Apartment
As you step inside, you’ll immediately feel the character of the space: 4-meter high ceilings, original stucco detailing, and elegant wooden floors. The living room features a classic British couch (imported from London where Pete Doherty used to crash) and an antique piano—perfect for relaxed evenings or a touch of inspiration. The kitchenette and bathroom were fully renovated four years ago, offering high-quality fixtures, clean lines, and a bright, fresh feel. In the kitchen you’ll find everything you need: fridge, freezer, oven, kettle, cutlery and cookware so you can cook and entertain with ease. Originally a neighborhood shop, the apartment retains its authentic Berlin Altbau character and has been reimagined as a bohemian, artsy home with personality and history. Despite its street-level location, the apartment offers a calm, private atmosphere; curtains throughout ensure additional privacy while still allowing natural light.
Other amenities include:
In-apartment washing machine for your convenience
High-speed WiFi throughout, and an intercom door-system for secure access
Comfortable bedrooms (two beds - each 140x200 cm) with bedside lamps, generous closets or drawers, fresh linens, pillows and blankets
Towels and essentials provided in the bathroom, with a relaxing shower space
A dedicated workspace/desk area — ideal if you’re working remotely or need to spread out
The kitchen features a stylish SMEG retro fridge — perfect for keeping your drinks and snacks cool during your stay.
Please note: There is no microwave in the kitchen, as we prefer to keep the space free from unnecessary radiation and focus on healthy cooking options.
Location and Surroundings
Situated in the lively and authentic “Bruesseler Kiez” area of Wedding / Mitte, this neighbourhood offers a wonderful combination of quiet residential streets and vibrant cafes, restaurants, and local shops. Just around the corner you’ll find independent bakeries, charming cafes (perfect for a leisurely brunch or a late-afternoon coffee), and a wide variety of international food options—from traditional German fare to Vietnamese and Middle Eastern cuisine. For everyday conveniences: supermarkets, specialty markets, late-night “Späti” convenience stores and shops are all within a short stroll.
Transport & Connectivity
One of the standout features is the excellent transport links: Whether you’re commuting, exploring Berlin, or catching up with friends, getting around is effortless. The major stations and lines nearby offer a strong connection to the entire city—including central Berlin and the main station. In just 15 minutes by bike you could be at the Brandenburg Gate; the city’s main train hub is approx. 20 minutes via public transport. If you prefer walking or scooting, the surrounding streets and trams make a car-free lifestyle fully viable and enjoyable.
Why This Place Stands Out:
The historical charm of the apartment (1920s build + original features) creates a warm, sophisticated ambiance.
Fully furnished and move-in ready—ideal whether you are staying for a day or a month.
High ceilings and tall windows flood the rooms with daylight, making the apartment feel spacious and bright.
Bohemian, artsy touches and the original Berlin-style design give the apartment unique character — expect a creative, personal space rather than a hotel-like finish.
Location: central yet within a friendly neighbourhood, where you’re close to Berlin’s major hubs but still connected to a community feel.
Practicalities handled: laundry at home, internet ready, secure access—so you can arrive and live without extra fuss.
Stay connected with reliable high-speed Wi-Fi: 311 Mbps download and 9 Mbps upload – ideal for remote work, streaming, and video calls.
This works especially well for work-from-home travelers.
Ideal For:
Young professionals or a small family who want more than just a “flat” – you’ll feel the personality of the place.
Anyone looking for a short-to-medium-term furnished home in Berlin with character and comfort.
Guests who appreciate design, original architecture, and want the convenience of modern amenities.
PLEASE NOTE:
Dear guests, there are currently minor cosmetic issues in the bathroom due to moisture. A professional repair is already scheduled. The bathroom is, of course, fully usable, even if it is not yet in perfect condition. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!
Liebe Gäste, im Badezimmer gibt es derzeit kleinere kosmetische Mängel aufgrund von Feuchtigkeit. Eine professionelle Reparatur ist bereits geplant. Das Badezimmer ist selbstverständlich voll nutzbar, auch wenn es noch nicht in perfektem Zustand ist. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Rücksichtnahme!
Piano:
We have a piano in the apartment! It’s out of tune due to its age, so it’s best for light playing only. Please avoid playing at night to respect neighbors.
Package Policy:
Guests are not allowed to accept packages or deliveries on behalf of neighbors. Please only receive packages addressed to your booking. Violations may result in penalties.
