The apartment is spacious and extremely well located in the Mitte area of Berlin, with easy access to transportation, shopping, and major sites. The location is one of its primary features. The internet was excellent. However, there were some issues.
Our initial encounter with this apartment was challenging. When my cell phone stopped working prior to our arrival, I asked the owner if she could release the apartment entry codes to us one day in advance of the 3 days promised in the listing. This would allow us to receive the information while we were still at a location where we had wifi. She refused. She eventually sent us the codes 1.5 days before our arrival. This created an awkward situation for us.
The apartment is probably best suited for those who do not plan to do much if any cooking while staying here. The apartment, generally, and the kitchen, specifically, was poorly provisioned. There was only one bath towel and one hand towel each for my wife and me for a 17 day stay. There were no extra sheets or pillowcases. We could wash the towels and sheets, but without a dryer, it was hard to get them dry before needing to use them again. The kitchen had no paring knife, mixing bowls, serving bowls, food storage containers, wine glasses, and no plates smaller than a large dinner plate. We purchased some of these items at a nearby Euro store and left them for subsequent guests. A broom and more cleaning supplies would have made it possible to keep the kitchen and bathrooms and the wood floors cleaner.
