LUXOISE APARTMENTS, Berlin

The apartment is set in Berlin's lively Friedrichshain district, with Simon-Dach-Straße's bars, restaurants and cafés only a 3-minute walk away. Boxhagener Platz, hosting a famous Sunday flea market, is 200 metres from the door. Public transport is well connected: Samariterstraße U-Bahn station (U5 line) is a 7-minute walk, giving direct trains to Alexanderplatz in under 10 minutes. Ostkreuz station (15 minutes on foot) offers direct regional trains to Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. A tram stop is right outside, and several supermarkets are within walking distance. The area is pedestrian-friendly for daytime exploration, and the Uber Arena is reachable on foot. Note that street parking is limited and charged at €3 per hour; a paid private lot is about a 15-minute walk away.

Apartments feature modern, designer interiors with parquet flooring, high ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a proper coffee machine (beans provided), electric kettle, toaster, dishwasher and all cookware, plus a washing machine. The living area includes a flat-screen TV and DVD player, and the bedroom has comfortable beds. Bathrooms are large and feature a bathtub and good water pressure. Some apartments have a furnished terrace or balcony, and all benefit from soundproofed rooms and keyless entry. The property is generally quiet, especially courtyard-facing apartments, though street-facing units may experience some noise from the neighbourhood. Storage space and wardrobes are ample. The sofa bed in the living area is noted as less comfortable and can squeak, so it is best used as a spare bed. The accommodation is better suited to travellers prioritising space, location and self-catering over luxury finishes, as some furniture shows signs of wear.

There is no restaurant or bar within the property itself. The apartment is equipped with a full kitchen (including a coffee machine with free coffee beans, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and cookware), making self-catering simple for breakfast and meals. Within a 3-minute walk, Simon-Dach-Straße offers a wide variety of dining: pizza at Il Ritrovo, German at Schneeweiss, Spätzle & Knödel, Kiez Döner, and Brotquelle for bread. Silo Coffee and Café Restaurant Datscha are good for breakfast or coffee. Sunday the flea market at Boxhagener Platz often has food stalls. Four supermarkets are also within walking distance. For a quick meal, the tram stop is nearby, providing access to the wider Friedrichshain restaurant scene. The coffee machine and free beans are a highlight, allowing fresh coffee in the morning.

No spa, swimming pool or fitness centre is available at Luxoise Apartments. For leisure, guests can use the on-site garden, outdoor furniture and picnic area. The property is located next to Boxhagener Platz, a small park that hosts a lively Sunday flea market and is suitable for relaxation. Several cafés and bars in the immediate area provide evening entertainment. The apartment's quiet courtyard-facing rooms offer a peaceful space after a day exploring. The neighbourhood itself, with its creative atmosphere and many small shops and street art, adds to the leisure experience. The building has an elevator in some sections, but not on the 1st and 4th floors.
