Photos and Description of the Berlin-Mitte vacation apartment rental
Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-5)

Miniloftmitte's downtown studio apartment is (45 sqm /450 sqft) is located in a stunning, prize winning building that combines a new building with renovation of an existing structure from the nineteenth century. The architects/designers are also the owners of the apartment, and have their own apartment in the building with their family. Architecture buffs love it here!

The apartment allows you full independence while enjoying your stay in Berlin in a unique atmosphere. The generous floor plan allows you to indulge in the modern luxury of pure space. The apartment is equipped with everything you need, and we provide all-organic products and cleaning supplies.

All major public transportation routes can be easily reached from this central location, and so many Berlin attractions are within walking distance (Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Alexanderplatz, Berlin Wall museum).

There are supermarkets and excellent restaurants and cafes within five minutes walk.

The Building - Phase 1: Britta Jürgens and Matthew Griffin, the architects who run the minilofts, also developed and designed the buildings.

The miniloft building was built on the property Hessische Str. 5 in two phases from 2001 – 2004. It is a complex interweave of renovation and new construction.

When they bought the property in 1999, the rear wing which now houses the classic minilofts was a run down building from the 1890's typical of Berlin Mitte.

In the first phase the architects completely transformed the narrow original wing by renovating the existing apartments.

The Building - Phase 2: In the second phase, the modern miniloft building (bender), was constructed in the overgrown bomb site at the front of the property. Its three bent stainless steel ribbons embrace the existing rear wing behind and navigate between the buildings on either side.

The building has received several prizes, and been internationally published in many magazines and books.

We were a family of 3. Stayed in Berlin for 3 nights and LOVED the Miniloft. Very cool desing, very clean and very well located. You can walk everywhere from there.
We also loved the guide book written and provided by the owners of the Miniloft. Very informative and fun. And the owners were very relaxed, let us stay way passed the check out hour which was great for us to spend extra time in the beautiful city.
We will definitely go back!!

Simply Perfect!

Our stay in Miniloft was simply perfect! The apartment is exactly as advertised: beautiful architecture, very comfortable and well equiped, clean and specially very well located! You can see all main city atractions by foot, or if you prefer, using one of the public transportations nearby, but you have a lot to do walking (Bundestag, Museum Island, old Berlim courtyards - recommend this one, is absolutely beautiful! - and much more). The neighborhood is cute and full of options to eat and you can walk even at night - it's very safe. Other diferential was the city guide provided by the owners, it's the best you can have of the "insider tips", very very useful.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend to others!

A work of art

I spent 3 nights at the Miniloft in October. I absolutely loved my stay. Everything one could possibly need was there. I especially enjoyed the space itself. When I was in the room I felt comfortable and safe, and I looked forward to returning at the end of the day. The bed was as comfortable as they come The Miniloft is very private and calm, and yet it s in a great location, close to everything, and within walking distance to many attractions. The free wifi was a gift. The guidebook was especially well written and fun. I used this to plan my days, and it has one of the best maps I found in Berlin. The Miniloft is an attraction in itself. I have never before stayed in a place quite so thoughtfully conceived, and when I return to Berlin, this will be my first choice.
Owner's Response: Thank you Jan! It was a pleasure having you here.

Miniloft--Spacious, cozy, with great location.

We spent a week over New Year's in a Miniloft apartment and were
delighted by our stay. The apartment was spacious and thoughtfully
fitted out with everything we needed - including pots and pans, an
iron, dishes, organic shampoo and dish soap. The design was gorgeous,
minimalist, and so tasteful. We loved the concrete heated floors -
despite the minimalist design and large windows, the apartment was
truly cozy. The location was also great, in the center of town and
very close to a subway stop, as well as within walking distance of
many of our sightseeing goals and museums. Probably the best thing
though was the guidebook the owners (who are also the building's
architects!) wrote themselves, with insider tips and tons of
information about the neighborhood and Berlin. We tried four of their
restaurant recommendations and they were all spot on. You have your
own key and don't have to pass reception so you feel quite
independent, but there was always someone in the office during the day
ready to help and answer our (many!) questions. They were extremely
friendly and welcoming. The only thing to note is that it is a true
loft, just one large room, so keep in mind that privacy would be
limited if you are a larger group. I imagine a family with children
would find it comfortable. Highly recommended!

Great Little Studio

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 18, 2011
  • Stayed: Apr 2011
My wife and I, who are 69, recently stayed in a "compact" apartment for a week. We have only good things to report: The space, though modest, is intelligently used, and the large vertical windows, with drapes of alternating colours, make the atmosphere seem at once open, airy, and big. Normally, my wife's first instincts on being installed in a space is to start moving furniture around; here, alas, she had nothing to do. In terms of utensils, appliances, and the like, there was everything we needed, except a regular oven for cooking - but perhaps this is entailed in the notion of a kitchen"ette." Moreover, the things provided were of a very high quality - heavy pots, big wine glasses in the kitchenette; plush towels, good bedding, interesting shampoo, etc. elsewhere. So the feel of the place is of unadorned, even austere, space, made warm through the accoutrements of living. The building itself is a joy to return to, and the location, though central, unusually quiet. Most important is the intelligent helpfulness of management and staff. One of the things we like to do on holiday is buy ingredients we cannot get at home, and then cook. For this we could have used a bigger fry pan, and when we asked whether one was available from a different apartment, within half an hour somebody went and purchased one for us. As well, there is a wonderful guidebook to the neighbourhood, and to Berlin at large - maps, for instance, with concentric circles of 5, 10, 15... minute walks, showing where to take a coffee, where to buy groceries, where to eat, to get money, etc. Indeed, having a week to fill between commitments in England and France, and wanting to visit a city new to us, we chose Berlin partly on the strength of the guidebook, as it always takes a while to get one's bearing in a strange city, and for a short stay this is a shame. Knowing the city a bit as we now do, would we choose to stay at Miniloft again? Yes, absolutely.

A lot of space and light - cool design - friendly yet unobtrusive service - independence - good cost/benefit ratio - free wi-fi - easy to book - photos on the site corresponds well to the real apartments.

We liked to feel at home. We liked the style, the silence, the essentials. We liked to be central and remote at the same time.

We liked the high ceilings, large space and lots of daylight. Also the situation in the city - walking distance from "everywhere."
