Bohemian oasis on a quiet street in a former industrial area in East Berlin, now an up and coming area for young people & artists. The fantastic murals on the walls along the street left me wondering why it was that Eastside Gallery commissioned works of art from foreigners. Clearly, they could have used local talent.
The property's shared courtyard garden is a unique and "hyggelig" oasis in urban Berlin--this is not a tidy "gardener's garden", but is charming, cluttered, homey & fun in a "Secret Garden" kind of way. Prepare to enjoy this with others. All are friendly, including Einstein the cat.
By contrast, the barn itself is immaculately clean and minimalist, with a few books and games, but otherwise just the bare necessities. Like the garden though, the barn is charming, homey, and eclectic.
If you plan to cook, be aware that the stove has just 2 burners and there is no oven. There isn't much in the way of cookware either, but if there's something specific you'd like, just ask Carmyta. She's very approachable, helpful, and hospitable.
Thanks for all your help, Carmyta. If we ever do make it back to Berlin, we'll certainly be back!
