Travel Plans: Berlin Style

Over the next few months, things start to get a little nutty around here. I’ll spare you the dates, but it starts at the end of March and goes something like this: parents visit,  Easter in Limerick (don’t ask, I blame basketball), sister visits, trip somewhere with my sister, long weekend in Spain, long weekend in Berlin, five weeks in America.

And by the first of July, I’ll be back in Dublin and will probably need until Christmas to recuperate. Ha! But all that to say I took a peek online at apartments to rent in Berlin today and was struck by the spare, white-washed style.

Would you check out that wall in the last image? I never thought so much concrete and cement could seem a bit cozy but with the light streaming in and the various textures, it doesn’t look too harsh.

I don’t think I’d have the discipline to live in apartments like these, but I’d love to try it out for a few days.

I’m not yet at the point of actually figuring out where I’m going to stay, but if any of these are in the vicinity of the conference I’ll be attending, sign me up.

I collected a few of my favorite tips for staying in rental apartment here. I think staying in an apartment is a great way to really experience living in that place like a local. Have you ever stayed in an apartment while traveling? And have you ever been to Berlin? I’d love tips for a little sightseeing while I’m there!
