The Berlin Artist Apartment is located in Friedrichshain. Just 22 years ago, the district of Friedrichshain was locked behind the Berlin Wall, in the sprawling stretch of boroughs referred to ominously around the world simply as “the East”. Today, this part of East Berlin is the hottest places to live, work, shop and play. Drawn by cheap rents and an anything-goes atmosphere, the cool East Berlin neighbourhoods attract writers, artists and performers from around the world. Friedrichshain is one such suburb: it is edgy, raw, dynamically creative, and changing so rapidly the guidebooks can´t keep up. It is perhaps the last resort for Berlin's famous alternative subculture. The streets culture is colourful and vibrant: Left over artist squats merge with imposing monumental Stalin-era buildings. Late-nineteenth century apartment buildings, galleries, alternative bars, clubs and cafes permeate the streets.

The front of the apartment building has a liquor and convenience shop, a fantastic bakery, café and icecream shop. Nearby Boxhagener platz hosts the popular farmers market on Wednesday and Saturday, and the famous flea market on the Sunday. There are a range of supermarkets nearby.

Many more cultural, sporting and shopping options are also within walking or cycling distance. Not far from here is the "East Side Gallery", the largest remaining section of the wall, saved by artists who've turned it into a canvas for their work.

The artists' apartment is lucky enough to have Tram lines, bus routes, underground station (U-bahn – U5, U1) and overground station (S5,S7) are a five minute walk from the apartment, connection you to all of Berlin. Alexanderplatz is about five minutes by train or a 10 minute bike ride. Nearby public transport connections mean that favourites such as Berlin's TV tower, shopping in Hackescher Markt or the Reichstag and Brandenburg gate are 15 minutes away. The Berlin Artist Apartment is the perfect base to explore all Berlin has to offer.
