Question 1

We Want To Book An Apartment As A Group. What If We All Have A Different Arrival Date?

Accepted Answer

When you book an apartment as a group, you will receive one rental agreement. The starting date in the rental agreement applies to the entire group, so is the rent payment. The group, or a member of the group, can check in the apartment starting from, e.g. 1 August. If the check-in has taken place, it is impossible to offer a rent reduction to a group member because it is simply impossible to manage the group's presence or an individual.

The check-in will take place with the entire group, or at least one group member. The group member does the check-in on behalf of the group. We will hand over the keys during the check-in to the entire group or group member. We cannot manage the late arrival of any group members and cannot discount individual group members.

Question 4

Which Kind Of Accommodations Do You Provide?

Accepted Answer

We distinguish between five different types of accommodation; private bedrooms, semi-studios, studios, apartments, and houses. Understanding the distinctions between these, can help you make informed decisions when seeking the ideal residential space to meet your needs and lifestyle preferences.

Private Bedroom

A private bedroom refers to an individual room within a shared living arrangement, such as an apartment or house. It is designated for personal use and typically includes space for sleeping and storage. Private bedrooms can be rented separately in shared living arrangements, providing individuals with their own personal space while sharing common areas, such as the kitchen, living room, and bathroom, with other tenants.

Semi-Studio

A semi-studio is a residential unit that offers a combination of shared and private spaces. It typically includes a private bedroom and bathroom, while the kitchen and/or toilet (and/or other living areas) may be shared with other residents. Semi-studios are a popular option for those seeking a balance between privacy and affordability. Semi-studios are often favored by students who value privacy but are open to sharing common areas with like-minded individuals. It allows for a more social living environment while still providing a private bedroom for relaxation and study.

Studio

A studio apartment is a self-contained living space that typically features a single room encompassing the bedroom, living area, and kitchenette. It often has a separate bathroom. Studio apartments are designed to maximize space and offer a compact, all-in-one solution for individuals or couples. Studio apartments are generally suitable for use by an individual or a couple. Due to their limited size and layout, accommodating more than two people can be challenging.

Apartment

An apartment refers to a self-contained residential unit within a larger building or complex. It usually consists of multiple rooms, including private bedrooms, living areas, a kitchen, and one or more bathrooms.Apartments offer various advantages such as access to shared amenities, and often provide a convenient location close to urban centers, schools, and workplaces. They are suitable for individuals, couples, or groups of students, depending on the size and layout of the apartment.

House

A house is a freestanding residential structure typically designed to accommodate a single-family or multiple families. Houses feature separate rooms, including private bedrooms, living spaces, a kitchen, bathrooms, and often include outdoor spaces like gardens or yards. Living in a house offers more privacy and space compared to apartments or studios. It provides the opportunity for customization, gardening, and hosting social gatherings. Houses are suitable for groups who value privacy.
