This apartment is lovely. It is light, airy, modern, clean, uncluttered and has beautiful high ceilings. All appliances work well, the beds are comfortable and are in separate rooms. It is in a top location (Mitte) and you can walk to many attractions. When we arrived in Berlin we caught the bus 147 from Hauptbahnhof almost to the front door. Maria arranged for a very easy and communicative welcome for us. Tegel airport bus also stops quite close by. There is a Lidl 4-5 mins walk in Luisenstrasse. In the apartment you can hear no noise from the street as it faces an inside courtyard, so it is a quiet location although we were disturbed by noisy neighbours. I found that communication with Maria is best when there is just one week to go.
