I spent six weeks in Amit's apartment in Mitte and loved my stay! The apartment is laid out so well, with lots of windows, which makes it beautifully bright and cheery. (But it also has great blinds to block out light at night to sleep!). The kitchen is especially great, perfect for cooking! The bed was super comfortable, there is a nice bathroom with a washing machine and drying rack, a kitchen table to eat / work at (although if you try to do both, as I often do, it gets a bit small) --- and so all in all, the space lends itself to a beautiful stay. This was my first stay in Mitte (I used to live in Prenzlauer Berg) and wasn't sure what I would think of the location, but it was great! So central! Walking distance to Kastanienallee and the Hauptbahnhof and the Spree for a morning jog, and all of the museums, and lots of cute restaurants and cafés close by. I walked everywhere, except in horrible rain, and then you are right by many public transportation options. For food, try the Chicken Cari Ga PHO at Oranienburger Tor, and Distrikt Coffee for breakfast! Both amazing. All in all, it was a perfect summer stay, and I'd highly recommend it to others.
