Located in Mitte, the apartment is ideal; you can read other reviews to get a sense of it. Unfortunately, like an earlier guest at this site, I had to convince the owner that I had already paid the deposit. Not just once, before I left the US, but a second time, when I was already traveling, she denied I'd paid the deposit. Fortunately, I'd asked PayPal to send her a verification of her receiving it. Where would I stay on such notice in Berlin? Who needs this stress on the road? The major problem is that she does not want to use the HomeAway app for payments (or even to finally identify the apt. address). Prefers PayPal, but doesn't accept funds through her provided phone number, and HomeAway doesn't provide the email address you'll need to pay via PayPal. If you decide to stay here, make sure you keep documentation, and try to keep HomeAway copied. (Also, there is no clothes dryer, contrary to the description: just a drying table and a balcony.)
