In Berlin, you’ll find all kinds of fascinating things, historically and creatively. Friedrichshain is a host to many creative communities that use the very buildings of this beautiful neighborhood as their own canvas. By entering this funky, alternative neighborhood, you’ll get to see political murals covering the East Side Gallery, the history of the Soviet-era buildings that line Karl-Marx-Allee, and even a preserved section of the famous and historic Berlin Wall.
Rather than living in a big chain hotel while you peruse these streets, there are plenty of cool and authentic Airbnbs within Friedrichshain that put you in touch with the locals and have you living like a local yourself! Here is the top Airbnbs in Friedrichshain, Berlin to check out for your next trip.

7. Sunny, spacious apartment
This quiet and sunny three bedroom apartment gives you brilliant access to transportation, bars, restaurants and boutiques right on your doorstep!

The apartment was fully renovated only this year, bringing the standard of living higher but not diminishing the old charm of the classic building it’s situated in. Built in 1904, you’ll find warm wooden floors and massive old doors and cosy bedrooms with antique bed frames!
