Location

Berlin-Heiligensee in the district of Reinickendorf, a quiet residential street near Lake Tegel. Schulzendorf station (S25) is about 400 m on foot, from there 23 minutes to Gesundbrunnen with connections to Mitte, Dahlem (FU) and Charlottenburg (TU). Bus stop 200 m away (lines 124, N24). REWE, an organic supermarket and a bakery are a 3–4 minute walk. Tegel Forest starts right at the door, the lake lido is 2 km away. This is not a nightlife district – bars and clubs are one train ride away.

Flat-share life

Five rooms in the house, mostly students. Shared: a common room with a large TV, a fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, a laundry room with washing machine and dryer, and a conference room in the basement with a Samsung TV, camera, printer, single workstation and a bean-to-cup coffee machine. Plus the terrace, the garden with a table tennis table and an outdoor sauna. The flatmates organise cleaning of the shared rooms themselves. Smoking is only allowed on the terrace or in the garden.
