Valerie's place is, in many ways, fantastic. This is a fabulous location, quiet, enough room, and a lovely outdoor area to look down upon. The neighborhood is just marvelous, Mitte at its best! Valerie was helpful, providing a fan when the temperatures shot up into the 90's, and extra sheets and towels when we requested them. A new mattress and slapping a new coat of paint on the apartment would make this a truly perfect Berlin rental.
