Hello,

Thank you very much for your message regarding my advert, here is more details about it: This exclusive property is situated in the heart of Berlin between Invalidenstraße and Chausseestraße very close to the main railway station <Hauptbahnhof> and the Museums for Contemporary Art and Natural History, between the Ministries for Technology and Urban Development, directly next to the Charité, the Federal Intelligence Service <Bundesnachrichtendienst, BND> and the planned Europacity. A new cultural centre for Berlin is taking shape here.

The popular Friedrichstraße, with its plethora of shopping facilities, restaurants and cultural highlights, can be reached within minutes. The Pankepark – a local recreation area where you can relax or exercise – is planned right next to the apartment site. Access to Berlin's public transport is also optimal. Berlin's Hauptbahnhof can be reached by foot. From there you can access the suburban train and tube network, various bus lines and Berlin's airports. Overall, this position offers you ultimate urban living and on top of that a very good chance for your property to keep and increase its value.

The flat is situated along Scharnhorststraße 6-7, Berlin, 10787 Germany

The rent fee is €400 per calendar month and all bills are inclusive.

A refundable security deposit of €600 is required and shall be given back to you on your move-out day.
Minimum stay: 1 week
Maximum stay is 5 years

I move out of the flat few months to complete my studies in Illinois, USA so that was why I decided to rent it out so that I can have someone to take good care of it while am away. The flat belong to my late father.=, he died few years ago and since then, I have been in charge of it with the help of my lawyer. I would also like to know how many persons will occupy the apartment and for how long would like to sign the rent contract. (any pets? cats or dogs?). Let me know when you would be free to come for the viewing.

Await your quick reply back asap.

Thanks for the message and interest in my flat, I really appreciate it and there's no problem in arranging viewing with you but I am currently living in Illinois so, I will need to take a day off in order to arrange the viewing with you. I have been receiving several mails lately from candidates whom are also showing interest to rent the apartment but since you are among the very first people to contact me then I'll strongly advice maybe you should have the apartment reserved pending our meeting. This simply means you will need to read/sign the rental agreement contract form which I'll scan and email to you, while a down payment (security deposit 600€) will be made in other to finalize the contract and reserve the apartment for nobody but YOU... As I only deal on first come first serve basis!! It is not compulsory you sign the contract now, it can also be sign immediately after the viewing.

The apartment is as exact the pictures I sent to you and also I can attach you with a copy of my passport ID for a benefit of trust and also to know whom you are dealing with before making the deposit if this is an agreement.

Please note the security deposit is refundable should in case there's any changes made before or after viewing the apartment. If you are fine with this, kindly get back to me with the details below so that my lawyer can prepare the Tenancy Form for you to read and sign then you shall pay the deposit into my bank account:

YOUR FULL NAME
YOUR PRESENT CONTACT ADDRESS
YOUR PHONE NUMBER
YOUR MOVE IN DATE

Looking forward to hearing from you.
