We live in the middle of Berlin - in Neukölln. It's a working class area, but a nice and interesting one! Here live people from about 130 nations. so you find restaurants and food shops from austria, india, arabic nations, turkey, and asia. In the last years more and more artits and other interesting people moved to Neukölln, so you can find little galeries und life music in small bars.
5 minutes walk and you have an local opera, theater and cinemas. The area we live in is the oldest part of Neukölln and you can still find village structures with little old houses and small gardens.
Our flat has 160m² and is in the 5th floor (without elevator). You have a wonderful view over Berlin. In the back of the house we have a little garden which you can use. Because it can be hot in summer under the roof, we have air conditioning.
In 5 minutes walk you reach the tube and in 20 minutes you are either right in the middle of Berlin or in the other direction you reach wood, river and lakes, where you can walk and swim.
