Brilliant Apartments

Berlin, Germany

Location
The Brilliant Apartments are located in Prenzlauer Berg in former East Berlin. The nearest U-Bahn station is at Eberswalder Strasse (U2). There are two tram stops (M1 and M10) within 10 minutes’ walk of the apartments on the Oderberger Strasse, while the apartment on the Rykestrasse (Jade) is closest to the M4 tram stop on the Prenzlauer Allee.

By Air:
There are 2 airports in Berlin: Tegel, which serves most flights from the west, and Schönefeld, which serves some flights from the west (particularly budget airlines) and most from eastern Europe and Russia. Click on the links below for a list of airlines serving the city's airports.

From the Airport
From Tegel, the Airport Express bus takes you to Alexanderplatz (30 minutes) where you can catch the U2 U-Bahn (underground) 3 stops to Eberswalder Strasse. From there it is a 10-minute walk to the apartments. A taxi from Tegel costs around €20 and takes 20-30 mins. From Schönefeld there are regular regional trains (20 minutes) and S-Bahn trains (30 minutes) that stop at Alexanderplatz. A taxi from Schönefeld costs around €25 and takes about 30-40 minutes.

By Car:
It is possible to park on the street without a permit, although spaces are hard to find, particularly in the evening. But as a tourist there would be little point in having a car here.

Save to favouritesPrintMailBrilliant ApartmentsPart of Berlin’s special appeal is its energetic, anything-goes vibe. And there is no better place to experience this than in the Prenzlauer Berg district, with its bohemian atmosphere and thriving café culture. In 2006, former cameraman and bundle of energy Simon Wirth bought a whole apartment block in a typical Altbau (late 19th-century block) on Oderberger Strasse - one of the area’s prettiest streets, choc-a-block with bars, restaurants and boutiques. Some of the apartments were tenanted, 9 were empty, and he's been gradually doing up those ones ever since. Dispersed through the building, some face the road, others the inner courtyard, and your direct neighbour is likely to be a local; Simon also lives here with his wife and 3 children. A mix of studios, 1 bed and 2-4 bed apartments, there's something for everyone (couples, friends, families), and each is fully self-catering and stylishly furnished with a mixture of modern, vintage 70s and antique furniture. Red, yellow or perhaps moss-green sofas provide splashes of bright colour, and matching bulbous lamps or graphic art make them feel contemporary and cool. The 10th Brilliant Apartment ([r:BE007:Jade]) is in a similar Altbau on nearby Rykestrasse, a slightly quieter and very beautiful street. From here it's a short stroll to Kollwitzplatz, where there's a great food and crafts market every Saturday.
