Cosy and sunny flat with great view in the middle of West-Berlin, Germany
My apartment is very centrally located in Berlin. A variety of shops (pedestrian zone 800 m away), cinemas, theaters are within walking distance.
Tourist attractions can be reached either on foot or easily by bike or by public transport. I have noted the distance from our apartment under the photos.
There are rental bicycles in many places in Berlin. Rental electric scooters recently also.
The rooms:
Main sleeping room with double-bed (180 x 200). The sleeping room and the study are situated towards the street. But due to good windows we don't hear the traffic. The terrace door (calm side of the house) can stay open over night.
Study with single bed
If necessary, a comfortable folding bed can be set up so that 2 people can sleep in the study.
Bathroom with tub, shower and toilet.
All rooms and items are in a good condition and clean.
My Car
Opel Meriva with 5 doors, for up to 5 persons.
Because of the very well-developed transport system you don't need a car in and around Berlin. In case I travel by my own car you can use my parking space for free (separate parking place behind our neighbour-house).
Public Transport
You can reach different kinds of public transport (bus, tube, interurban-train) within a few minutes walk. There is a bus station a few meters from my house. So you easily can go to any destination you want.
Cycling
I have one pedelec (E-bike).
Berlin is a city of bicycles (721 bicycles per 1,000 people)! Many roads (just as our street) have their own bike paths. If you are travelling by car, you permanently have to regard the bikes.
Airports
Berlin-Brandenburg-International (BER), about 30 km from our flat. It is easy to get there by train.
Informations about the area: see text under the map.

About the neighborhood
ENGLISCH:
My apartment is located in Charlottenburg, in the middle of the "City West". The small, quiet rooftop terrace offers views over Berlin, and when you leave through the front door, you are "in the middle" of the action. The apartment is located between Charlottenburg castle and famous "Kurfürstendamm".
Passing boutiques, cafes and restaurants you reach within a few steps "Wilmersdorfer Straße", the first pedestrian zone of Berlin, offering countless shopping.
The opera house "Deutsche Oper" is only 800 meters away from our apartment.
Use my bike and cycle through "Tiergarten" (Berlins large, centrally located Park) to "Brandenburger Tor", on the way back pass the “Reichstag” (house of parliament) and Chancellery, have a drink in the garden café on the Spree behind the "Haus der Kulturen der Welt" (Berliner call it pregnant oyster) facing the back of the Chancellery, continue along river Spree, pass "Schloss Bellevue" (residence of the President) and cycle through the northern part of the Tiergarten back to our home.
I love especially to cycle along channel and river Spree to "Schloss Charlottenburg". Have a leisurely coffee-hour in the garden of the Royal Café. Join one of the passenger ships near the castle and enjoy sightseeing fromout river Spree and canal.
The “Zoologischer Garten”, the oldest zoo in Germany with the greatest biodiversity in the world, is also within walking distance.
Berlin offers something for everyone! Welcome!
DEUTSCH:
Meine Wohnung befindet sich in Charlottenburg, mitten in der "City West". Auf der kleinen, ruhigen Dachterrasse genießen Sie den Blick über Berlin, und wenn Sie vor die Haustür treten, sind Sie „mittendrin“ im Geschehen. Die Wohnung liegt zwischen dem Schloss Charlottenburg und der berühmten Flaniermeile "Kurfürstendamm" Vorbei an Boutiquen, Cafés und Restaurants erreichen Sie in wenigen Schritten die "Wilmersdorfer Straße", die erste Fußgängerzone Berlins mit unzähligen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
Die "Deutsche Oper" ist nur 800 m von meiner Wohnung entfernt.
Sie finden weitere Theater im Umkreis unserer Wohnung: "Renaissance-Theater", "Theater am Kurfürstendamm", "Komödie am Kurfürstendamm", "Theater des Westens", "Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz", "Haus der Berliner Festspiele", „Bar jeder Vernunft ", Kabarett" Die Stachelschweine": Alles ist zu Fuß in weniger als 30 Minuten erreichbar.
Nutzen Sie mein Fahrrad und radeln durch den "Tiergarten" (Berlins großer, zentral gelegener Park) zum "Brandenburger Tor", auf dem Rückweg am Reichstag und Kanzleramt vorbei, genießen Sie eine Berliner Weiße im Gartencafé an der Spree hinter dem „Haus der Kulturen der Welt“ (die Berliner nennen es schwangere Auster) mit Blick auf die Rückseite des Kanzleramts, fahren weiter an der Spree entlang, am "Schloss Bellevue"(Residenz des Bundespräsidenten) vorbei und durch den nördlichen Teil des Tiergartens wieder zurück.
Ich liebe es besonders, an Kanal und Spree entlang bis zum "Schloss Charlottenburg" zu radeln. Nach einem gemütlichen Kaffeestündchen im Garten des Schloss-Cafés geht es am Lietzensee vorbei durch den Kiez wieder nach Haus.
Oder Sie steigen nah am Schloss Charlottenburg in eines der Fahrgastschiffe, die Ihnen von der Spree und vom Kanal aus die Sehenswürdigkeiten Berlins zeigen.
Der Berliner Zoo, der älteste Zoo Deutschlands mit der größten Artenvielfalt der Welt, ist ebenfalls fußläufig zu erreichen.
Berlin bieten für jeden Geschmack etwas! Herzlich Willkommen!

Dejlige hjælpsomme og informative. Alt var tilrettelagt og forberedt godt
Una familia muy simpática y acogedora. Una casa linda y muy bien comunicada en un barrio estupendo.
Vaihtokumppanimme olivat pariskunta ja rouvan sisar. Koti kuvineen ja ympäristöineen oli hyvin esitelty ilmoitussivuilla, kaikki olennainen selvisi sieltä hyvin. Mukana olivat jopa kuvat autosta ja polkupyöristä. Lisää erittäin hyvin valittua informaatiota oli vaihtokodissa saatavilla. Tapasimme heidät tullessamme ja myös lähtiessämme, joten meillä oli hyvää aikaa tutustua ja keskustella odotuksista ja kodeistamme. Meidän kodissamme heidät otti vastaan poikamme.
Similar a nosotros, que era lo que buscábamos. La casa estaba perfectamente identificada en el anuncio.
