With its high ceilings, bright interiors and modern amenities, The Elvira is a trustworthy choice for a group of travellers. It’s not the most soulful home in our collection, but it has a light balcony with backyard views that’s nice for enjoying a cup of coffee. Charlottenburg isn’t as lively as Kreuzberg or Mitte, but you’re a short ride from the beautiful Charlottenburg Palace and all of its glory. Home truths: * The interior is a bit generic – those looking for a house full of character should look elsewhere * There’s no communal area separate to the dining table in the kitchen * The immediate neighbourhood isn’t lively, but you’re a bus ride from the centre of Charlottenburg * Tall people beware - both showers are quite low at 175 cm and 190 cm * There aren’t any low-voltage sockets in the bathrooms, so you’ll have to charge your electric toothbrush elsewhere * The walls could do with a lick of paint * The balcony can only be accessed from one of the bedrooms * There are not enough seats for all guests to sit together on the balcony
