Immerse yourself in a unique living atmosphere at the former Venus neighborhood movie theater. Today, it’s the vibrant home base of the blu Media Group—the largest publisher of queer media in the German-speaking world—and our lively Venus shared apartment! Chris (f), Chris (m), and Ed (m) live here with their four charming cats in a 320-square-meter space plus rooftop terraces, and they look forward to welcoming queer and queer-friendly guests from all over the world.
Your perfect retreat with plenty of space Relax in one of our cozy rooms and enjoy the comforts of an apartment with two large rooftop terraces and a lounge-style sunroom/fireplace room with a wood-burning stove. These are, of course, available for you to share—perfect for soaking up the Berlin sun or winding down the day with a drink, a movie, or a book in front of the fireplace. Or would you like to take a full bath with massage and whirlpool features?
You’ll also have access to a coffee maker and your own refrigerator (or a compartment in it). Optionally, you can also enjoy the culinary skills of your roommates. And we’ve set aside a bike for you to use for free.
Green, quiet, and well-connected The area around Obersee is beautifully green and offers a relaxing oasis far from the hustle and bustle of the big city. From here, it’s the ideal starting point for exploring the diverse eastern part of Berlin.
Getting Here:
It’s super easy to reach us from the main train station: The M5 takes you directly to the “Freienwalder Str.” stop in about 45 minutes without having to transfer. From there, it’s just a 3-minute walk to our place.
Important note for night owls:
The trendy hotspots in Schöneberg are about a 45-minute ride away by public transportation. So be sure to allow some extra time if you want to dive into Berlin’s vibrant nightlife.

Chris was a very good host, open, communicative and helpful. I would come back anytime.
Nice flat. Very big and comfortable room. Thanks a lot
The hosts are very kind and supportive. It felt like visiting friends. I would definitely visit them again. Thanks a lot for having me.
We had a pleasant vacation in Berlin at Christian's place, who is a committed LGBTQIA+ host who cares deeply about the community, pleasant welcome even late in the evening, good advice, very attentive....we recommend this living space in a quiet neighborhood 30 minutes from the center..... Thank you. Maxime & Mathias
Chris was a great host! He went so far as to hand dry my clothes after they came out of the wash one day while I was working. He gave me good recommendations for places to go while I was staying at his place!
Great choice! I would definitely stay with Christian again. Friendly, accommodating, a most enjoyable experience.
Chris is one of the best people I've ever met. He's been incredibly helpful, very kind, respectful, and cultured. He was a great help with my travels in Germany, and he's very easy to get along with. His house is big and clean, and I had a wonderful time with him.🥰🥰🥰
Christian is an exceptional host, communicative and very helpful. The room is large, well-furnished and very clean. The large living room and kitchen were available for use. The roommates were present, friendly and discreet. However, you must like cats, as there are some living there too. I will come back again if the opportunity arises.
