Mitte tends to be noisy (full of tourists) or dead at night (full of offices), but this pocket of neighborhood is different. It has virtually no tourists, yet convenient and full of residential charms. We are a fair and respectful couple in Berlin (a small landlord), who designed the place with love/care with a view to moving in ourselves, so rest assured you will have a smooth stay in this apartment. Enjoy!
In terms of public transportations, 4-min walk from Markisches Museum. 5 from Spittelmarkt. 8 from Henrich-Heinestrasse/Jannowitzbrucke/Museumsinsel. The 3-room 2bd flat is located in the rare residential, non-touristic, and historical part of Mitte, right by the canal, conveniently located near amenities Al Natura (2 min), Netto (3 min), and Edeka (6 mins), and nice cafes/restaurants. This block is one of the loveliest in Mitte.
The apartment is unique in that
- Quiet Hinterhaus (not facing main street) apartment is renovated in 2025. Spanking new. Designed by my partner who does interior deisgn.
- King size bed with comfortable mattress. We bought it thinking we'd use it so it's super comfy, unlike those in short-term stays.
- Ample storage, unlike in most apartments. Shoe rack that can store up to 40 pairs. Entryway closet for coats. 3m long wardrobe in the bedroom. So everything can be tucked away and the place is always neat.
- Equipped kitchen with microwave, oven, normal-sized fridge with freezer, dishwasher etc. Basically all you need to cook a nice meal.
- Modern Smart light system that lets you set scene and turn on/off automatically in the right places (hallway etc.). At night it gives a hotel-like cozy ambience with a click of a button.
-The second bedroom is currently empty, because some people want it to be an office. We can discuss your needs and furnish.
- We will personally check you in on the first day, and show you how things work (including the washer/dryer room in the building - they are not in the apartment unit)
We are honest and fair people (small landlord looking to live there eventually), so please be assured that you stay will be comfortable and you will get the deposit back, so long as there's no damage. We are also in Berlin, so if there's anything you need, we can be there quickly. Basically we are here to make your stay as smooth as possible. Given there are so many scams on here, we'd be happy to provide as much assurance as possible before proceeding to the next step - In-person viewing, video-viewing, (hidden) profile, personal documents etc. If you have additional questions, feel free to ping us. Hope to hear from you. Please note that the utilities are to be paid separately (not included in rent but fixed price shown on this listing).

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
