The apartment was as advertised--clean, efficient, and well located in Mitte. What I didn't expect--and was pleasantly pleased to discover--was how quiet it was and how easy it was to get to most places from the building. It's three blocks to the grocery store and a block from Arkonplatz park where they have a Sunday Flea Market and a Friday night Farmer's Market with great food trucks. It's also just a few blocks from the metro and there were several lovely bars and restaurants located quite near. I particularly liked the French creperie, La Bigoudene, near the Zionskirche. There's also another nice park nearby, Weinbergspark, with design stores, restaurants, and a wine bar in the area. Bernauer Strasse, where the former Berlin Wall was located, is within blocks and it has a lot of historic photos and texts about life in a divided Berlin before 1989.
All in all, I'd say we landed in a great spot. The apartment was lovely and the location made it very easy to enjoy the social, cultural, and historic aspects of the city. I'd recommend this place to everyone.
