Located in buzzing Friedrichshain, Scarlet Tango is a functional studio with shared facilities including a sauna and garden. Although it’s not the biggest home on our books, it has a lot going for it. We love how the bright red colour mixes with the bohemian-style rattan chairs and the elegant and very comfy-looking daybed. You’re close to the heart of Friedrichshain and all of its nightclubs so it’s especially well-suited for travellers looking to explore Berlin’s nightlife.

About Friedrichshain
Just across the bridge from Kreuzberg and to the east of Mitte, you find Friedrichshain - a neighbourhood with an edgy, creative and slightly gritty vibe that’s popular with much of Berlin’s artsy crowd and students similar to Kreuzberg and Neukölln. Friedrichshain’s East Berlin heritage is still an integral part of its current identity with the monumental GDR-era boulevard, Karl-Marx-Allee, being one of the main arteries through the neighbourhood.
