Bright and immaculately decorated, this two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is located on a quiet residential street. Elegant and airy, but equipped with everything young children need, it appeals to both adults and little ones.
White walls, white wooden floors, large windows and Scandinavian-style design lend the interior a fresh, clean feeling, whilst the mix of vintage and contemporary furniture is cool yet characterful. Child-size chairs and tables, toys and more add a playful touch.
The open plan kitchen and dining room is sparkling, modern and spacious enough to sit up to ten, with a sunny sitting room leading off it. A fireplace will keep you warm and cosy on winter evenings, and in summer you can throw open the doors to the balcony and enjoy views to the park.
The minimally furnished adult bedroom, also with a predominantly white décor, exudes calm, while the children’s room, equipped with bunk beds, is a colourful treasure trove of soft toys and games. Two bathrooms, one with a shower, the other with a bathtub, make bath time easy for the whole family.
At 130 square metres the apartment is spacious enough for a young family of four to five (two adults, two kids plus one baby), and the child-friendly neighbourhood means there is a wealth of activities and eateries within easy walking distance.

Resources for visitors to Berlin:
The Area
Although centrally located, Prenzlauer Berg is leafy, green and pleasantly laid back.
Once a bohemian and slightly edgy neighbourhood due to the influx of artsy, alternative West Berliners following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the area has ‘grown up’ and been gentrified in the past decade or so.
Nowadays its streets are lined with organic food shops, health clubs and boutiques selling handmade arts and crafts. People get around by bike, and while away the hours people-watching from pavement cafes and beer gardens. The foodie scene is thriving, microbreweries are springing up and there is a tangible atmosphere of creativity.
It’s not surprising then that so many young families choose to live here: Prenzlauer Berg has the highest birth rate in Berlin, and is overflowing with family-friendly venues and activities. It’s the ideal base for couples with young children to explore Berlin.
