Family friendly 2-bedroom apartment in Berlin City West

Description

We are a German-American couple (physician/cell biologist) and live in the U.S. most of the time. My family lives in Berlin, and we keep a 2-bedroom apartment there to visit family with our 2 young kids. We would love to share our Berlin flat with visiting scholars/academics and their families on sabbatical when we don’t use it. While retaining its old-world charm with high ceilings and original hardwood floors, the space has been completely remodeled and offers a luxurious and cozy home away from home. Availability would be for the duration of 1 semester, possibly 2 if it works out with our travel schedule. My mother lives in the same building, will meet you for move-in/move-out, and is available in case of any concerns. • 2nd floor of a pre-war building on a tree lined street; playground on adjacent lot • Fully furnished and includes 2 separate bedrooms, a large living room, eat-in kitchen, 1 full and 1 half bathroom • The main bedroom has a king-sized bed, the second smaller bedroom has twin sized bunk beds, both have closets. • The living room has a spacious seating area, flat-screen TV and a separate large table that can be used as a desk. • The modern open kitchen is fully equipped with refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave/oven combination, toaster, coffee maker, water heater, cooking utensils and dishes.
