Penthouse in Mitte (central Berlin)

Steinstrasse

 10119  Berlin

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.

Mitte literally means 'middle' and Steinstrasse is situated in the middle of a buzzing world of boutiques, art galleries, bars, cafes and restaurants. Hakenscher Hof is five minutes away, as is the Goethe Inst and the Cervantes centre. Museum Island, Alexanderplatz and the lovely Prinzlauerberg area are all within ten minutes walking. A short cycle ride will bring you down Unter den Linden to the Brandenberg Gate, the Reichstag and the Tiergarten. We recommend that guests hire bicycles from Famos, the nearby friendly bicycle store on Orienbegerstrasse. For Art lovers and collectors, the most important art galleries are located nearby on Auguststrasse. Most of the Berlin biennale and the annual Art forum activity takes place here.
