The location of this apartment is excellent - easy walking distance to major sights and great public transportation. The view was also great. Some aspects could use work - dim bathroom lighting, lack of towels, window curtains that don't block light, very few amenities - but the apartment served our needs for a two-night stay. I would not describe it as "high-quality renovated" or "lovingly furnished." Don't expect a fully functioning apartment that someone could live in for longer than a week or so. It is more like a well-located, decently-sized, old hotel room with a small kitchenette. If you want to spend your time out and about in Berlin and not inside the apartment, this place will suit you fine.
