Our favourite thing about My Cobalt Diary was undoubtedly the balcony. Bright, refreshing, and cosy, it overlooks a typical Berliner courtyard, with greenery during the summer months. Found in the heart of the city, many of Berlin’s most popular attractions are nearby – including Hackescher Markt and the Spree. We also loved how well-connected it is – you can easily reach the likes of Kreuzberg, Neukölln, and Friedrichshain. It’s worth noting that it’s a studio, so don’t expect lots and lots of space.
