The apartment was very clean and ready for us when we got there. It is a little outside of the main Mitte neighborhood but only a 5-10 minute walk away, depending on what you are looking for. There are cute coffee shops near by and there are two grocery stores in walking distance. The apartment is not decorated at all and it is very clear no one actually lives there. It has the feel of a hotel, not an Airbnb. The only major problem were the curtains. They were too long, yet not wide enough to cover the whole window, so in the summer when there is a lot of sunlight, it is hard to sleep. Overall the apartment is very nice and is accurate to the description, just needs something to brighten it up.
