Located in a building that never ceases to fascinate us, The Space Age is great for architecture aficionados. Filled with natural light (courtesy of the huge windows), it makes for a wonderful escape in Mitte, with a concierge and fitness room included in the price. It’s well connected in terms of public transport, but there are also plenty of things to do nearby. Berlin’s Natural History Museum is only ten minutes away by foot, and so are many eateries and coffee shops that are worth a visit.

Home truths:
*The decor is slightly lacking in character
*Due to it not having any windows, there’s little natural ventilation in the bathroom
*There’s no home manual, but there’s a concierge for any questions you may have
*We noticed some spots on the floor in the kitchen area
*One of the dining chairs was broken when we visited – the host knows about it
