Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The Contortionist is very special. Brimming with natural light, each room is designed with meticulous attention to detail – we love the different wallpapers and mix of pastel hues. The rooftop is its superpower, the striking views of Berlin with the TV Tower in the distance are mesmerising. The beds aren’t as luxurious as we would like them to be, but luckily all the bedrooms are captivating and filled with lots of small, curated details.
