Temporary living in Erkner: a guide to furnished stays

Not every stay is for ever. If you need somewhere to live for a project, a new job or the time until you find your own place, a furnished apartment for a limited period is often a better fit than a hotel or a long-term tenancy.

Who temporary living is worthwhile for

• Skilled workers and fitters on a fixed-term job in the region
• People changing jobs who don't yet have a permanent home
• Commuters who stay near Berlin during the week
• Anyone who needs an interim solution without their own furniture

What to look out for in furnished apartments

A good temporary apartment is ready to live in straight away: beds made, kitchen equipped, towels provided, Wi-Fi included. Ask beforehand whether there is a private kitchen and a private bathroom – shared bathrooms are not unusual in workers' accommodation, but they make a big difference day to day.

Price and deposit

For longer stays, a monthly rate is usually cheaper than the nightly rate. In Erkner the furnished apartments start at €35 per person per night, with a fair monthly rate on request. I'll go through what applies to your dates with you when you enquire.
