family-friendly apartment in the centre of Berlin

Waking up with sunrise – watching the sun going down while having dinner? Our sunny apartment offers an incredible view over the Tiergarten park in central Berlin. The apartment is on the 8th and 9th floor of an outstanding highrise building that was built for the international architecture exhibition Interbau 1957 (by Dutch architects Van den Broek and Bakema). The apartment is 85 sqm large and has two bedrooms (one rather small). The apartment is a so-called split-level design: You enter it on level 1 and walk seven stairs up to the second level (entrance hall, kitchen, living room), another seven stairs bring you to the third level, where the bedrooms and the bathroom are.

The house is very near to Berlin's main station, the zoological garden and the Western city centre (Charlottenburg) – being on the fringes of Tiergarten, the largest park in the city. We are a family of 4, with two kids (5 and 2 years old), so there are lots of toys for kids. Underground/U-Bahn (line 9) and Suburban/S-Bahn trains (lines 3, 5, 7 and 9) are very close, making it very comfortable to reach all parts of the Berlin by using public transport (for instance: only 4 stops to Alexanderplatz). Please note that the house is very near to the train tracks. The flat has soundproof windows, but is an urban place – not a quiet one ; )
