Orange Blossom

In true Kreuzberg fashion, the door to Orange Blossom is full of colourful graffiti. Inside, however, it’s a calm space filled with green plants, beautiful antiques and an extensive book collection. We fell in love with the Italian granite kitchen counter as soon as we saw it, and we adore how inviting and communal the kitchen is. Located in Wrangelkiez, you’re right across the street from Görlitzer Park, and you’re also within walking distance to some of Berlin’s hippest spots.

Home truths:
* This is a lived-in home, so expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings
* The walls are a bit bare and could do with some artwork
* When we visited, the mirrored door in the hallway was broken
* The bedroom is small and the bed can only be accessed from one side
* Kreuzberg is a lively part of Berlin, so it might get noisy at night due to this home’s proximity to bars, restaurants and nightclubs
* There’s no personal check-in - don’t expect a local tour guide upon arrival
* Guests 3 and 4 would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if the doors are closed, this room almost becomes like a second bedroom
* We also noticed some scuff marks on the white walls
