Duplex Penthouse in the Centre of Berlin
Overlooking Quiet Courtyard, 10 mins Walk from Museum Island, Alexanderplazt, Bustling Area
Sleeps up to 5 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
A 80msq 2 bedroom duplex penthouse overlooking a courtyard and located in the trendy area of Mitte. Upstairs, an open plan sunny sitting/dining area opens onto a south-facing terrace. There is one bedroom on this level with views of the TV tower and neighbouring garden, while downstairs there is another large studio-bedroom (with cable TV)and bathroom overlooking the hof (courtyard). A beamed ceiling and terracotta floors throughout, with contemporary furniture and a well-equipped, wooden fitted kitchen create a possibly Tyrolean-Spanish atmosphere. This is particularly so when the big glass sliding doors are open onto the balcony and one can breakfast al fresco. The apartment is very quiet, though the area is bustling with boutiques, bars, cafés, restaurants and galleries. Alexander Platz, Prenzlauerberg and Museum Island are all within 10 minutes walking distance. The Goethe Institute and the Cervantes Institute are within 5 minutes. Perfect location for short term stays.

Notes on accommodation
It is suitable for children. There is WIFI and cable TV. The downstairs studio bedroom makes a great den for children, or anyone wanting a bit of independence. A good arrangement, especially when the adults want to stay up late without disturbing the children. A babysitter can be organised if needed, as can a daily or weekly cleaner. Also, if you would like to order breakfast, tea, coffee etc (A good idea if you are arriving late), please ask a few days in advance of your arrival.

The apartment is in the back house of the hof (courtyard), so is very quiet. It is possible to park bicycles in the yard.
