Haushalt Waren

Good place to outfit a temporary apartment with cheap household essentials.
Probably closer to where you are staying than Ikea.

I moved into a cute little apartment in Prenzlauer Berg for a 2 month stint.
I pondered where to get all the items one needs for two months. Cleaning supplies. Cutting board. Hangers. Clothing storage. Towels. Bedding. Kitchen utensils. Random hardware items. Some mailing envelopes for souvenirs. Laundry basket. Dish cloths.Tape. Scissors. Laundry drying rack… oh, so many things!
First thought: IKEA. Second thought: I don’t have a car.
Third thought: Amazon. Fourth thought: Can’t receive mail.
Then on a morning walk I happened by this spot, Haushalt Waren… which contained EVERYTHING I needed and more. Besides the extensive list above, they also have a fairly good selection of gardening needs, kitchen appliances (coffee makers, etc), hardware items for small projects, and even some fun umbrella chairs for the park!
Of course you’ll pay a bit more than a big box store… but couldn’t put a price on the convenience factor, not needing a car, being close, and being in and out in under 20 minutes.
Cash only (from what I can tell).
Very well organized and orderly.
