Description Café Electric: Berlin

Inside a beautifully renovated 1920s building, we find Café Electric. It’s located at the exact point where Neukölln and Kreuzberg meet, a micro-neighbourhood that the locals call Kreuzkölln. Even though it’s a small space on paper, we don’t get that impression once we step into the luminous living room that feels a little like a tree house. It's complete with cosy sofas and a mix of unique art and design lamps, and it's also got a nice collection of board games that makes for a fun night in.

Home truths:
* Neither of the bathrooms have low-voltage plugs
* The lift is not suitable for wheelchairs
* The outdoor courtyard space is communal and shared between all residents of the building
* Because the home isn’t baby-proof, the host has decided to rent it out to adults and older children only
* The graveyard view from some of the bedrooms isn’t for everyone
* The balcony opens up to a busy street and can be noisy at times
* Kreuzkölln is on the up, but it's not quite like Kreuzberg yet
