The Special Place

This apartment is registered and officially approved. It is not forbildden by the new law of Berlin because it always has been a commercial space.

Our apartment is registered and officially approved. It is not a misuse of living space, as it was rebuilt as a trade.

The apartment is located in the northern center of Berlin. It is not subject to the misuse of apartments because it is operated in a commercial space. Pankow is one of the most beautiful districts of Berlin and has a very high quality of living. The 'elite' of the GDR used to live here. Writers, politicians, actors, musicians ... still live in this livable district today. Heiner Müller lived here, Christa Wolf, Manfred Krug, Corinna Hafouch, Henry Hübchen, Jürgen Trittin and many others live or lived in Pankow.

With its many parks, Pankow is one of the greenest districts in Berlin. Our apartment is located directly at the Bürgerpark. So you can start the morning with jogging or relax there in the Cafe Rosenstein. Children feel particularly comfortable here. Pankow is the district with the largest number of children in Berlin and is well equipped with many newly designed playgrounds. The Pinkepanke children's farm, just above the park, is a popular destination for many Berliners. Children are always welcome in the restaurants.

Although livable and green, the district is still centrally located. Thanks to the excellently developed network of public transport, you can reach all destinations very quickly. The S Bahn runs to Friedrichstr. In 15 minutes. The subway takes you directly to the Volksbühne, to Potsdamer Platz, or to Ku'damm. You can quickly reach the Friedrichstadtpalast or the German Theater by tram.

House rules:
Have a decent noise level after on weekdays after 10pm and on the weekend after 11pm.
Show respect to the neighbors, behave quiet in the public staircase during the night.
No parties without permission.
No pets without permission.
Smoking only on the terrace.
Bring down your garbage.

House rules:
We ask for a reasonable noise level during the week from 10 p.m. and on weekends from 11 p.m.

Great Stay in Berlin
The apartment is in a great location close to parks, restaurants, train lines, etc. The apartment is spacious and had everything we needed. The owner is also very helpful - even when we locked ourselves out of the apartment! We would definitely stay again.

Perfect family spot
We stayed here for over three weeks with our 3 year old and our 1 year old. There were tons of books in several languages, plenty of toys to occupy kids on rainy days, and an amazing park right on the corner. This park (Burgerpark) was the perfect place to have picnics, see goats, or go to the skatepark, or children's zoo. Alke was extremely responsive and helpful, and a lovely host. The apartment is on a quiet side street, but very close to the tram, bus, and about a 10 minute walk to the S-bahn station. We did not have a car, but didn't feel like it was necessary.

Bright, large apartment in convenient location
I stayed here with my 16 month old daughter, dad, and sister. The apartment was very comfortable for all of us. The kids room was perfect for my 16 month old - lots of fun toys for kids if all ages! The apartment is in a cute neighborhood with a nice park just a block away and easy public transportation access to the main tourist attractions. Alke was a wonderful host - communication was great and checking process was easy. Would definitely recommend!

Week in Pankow
Could not have had a better place to stay. Great location close to a lovely park and within 5 minutes of the fantastic Berlin transport system. The apartment was clean, spacious and full of character. We loved sitting on the balcony to cool down at night with a cold glass of German wine or beer. Pankow was ideal, with good food shops, restaurants and bars. We would all love to come back as we have barely scratched the surface of Berlin; there is so much to do and see.

Amazing Apartment for a Family or Large Group
We recently stared here with our family (my wife and I plus our three children, 7, 6 and 2) and my sister-in-law's family (my sister-in-law, her husband and three children, 9, 7 and 4). There was more than enough room for all of us and the apartment had every amenity imaginable. Location in Pankow was convenient for us - a 15-minute Uber from the train station or a 20-minute walk to the U2 line to Alexanderplatz. Also right across the street from a large park with a playground and lots of nearby restaurants in the Pankow neighbourhood. We could have stayed here a week!

Wonderful apartment in Berlin!
This was a great apartment for our first visit to Berlin. The apartment is close to the bus stop and walking distance to a grocery store. The owner was very gracious and helpful with anything we needed. She lives in the building and is very available. The apartment is very roomy and accommodating for a larger traveling group. I would have given it all five stars, but there was one concern that should be considered. This apartment is on the top floor and you must walk several flights of stairs. Please consider if you are physically challenged at all. Otherwise, it is perfect if you don't mind stairs. I would highly recommend it!
