Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Alexander’s home is simply amazing. He’s renovated everything himself, using the structure of the old stables to make something completely unique. A photographer and artist, every single part of this home tells a story – from the many souvenirs to the raw, exposed brickwork. Located right by Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain, there’s also plenty to do in the immediate area. A treat for the soul and eyes, The Photographer’s Stable is a home that shouldn't be missed.

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.

Host
This home is managed by Alexander
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Alexander comes from Bernkastel-Kues, an idyllic wine town with more tourists than residents. He left his hometown at a young age to focus on snowboarding and photography – two interests that have taken him around the world. He loves sharing his Berlin home with curious souls, and he especially enjoys making people feel at home in his unique space.
