Renovated 1-room apartment with separate kitchen and far-reaching views

The location is one of the capital’s most sought-after: Wrangelkiez. “Markthalle 9” embodies everything that makes the neighborhood so vibrant and endearing: a magnificent historic building where young people—and those young at heart—enjoy life free from the pressures of haste. A charmingly old-fashioned flower shop stands right beside stylish cafés, the kind you might just as easily find in New York. In between, you hear your neighbors and passersby speaking plenty of German and English. Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic and Persian can also be heard again and again. And if you are short a few coins when paying for your Turkish pastry, simply come back tomorrow. Anyone unfamiliar with the area would hardly expect this: just down the street you will find world-famous restaurants such as “Long March Canteen” and “Spindler & Klatt.” Here, you are already beside the Spree, with its waterside and old trees. It is only a few minutes to the “Badeschiff”: an outdoor swimming pool in a former freighter that has inspired imitators around the world. The new skyline crowns it all. By now, at the latest, you will once again realize that you live in a city of global importance.
