Wondering what a 1-room apartment in Berlin Germany looks like? Here's an empty one, so you get an idea of what to expect when renting in Berlin. No furniture, no lighting, just the raw thing. Welcome to my completely empty Berlin studio apartment. In this video, I'll do a quick and small apartment tour located in the heart of Karl-Marx-Straße in the Neukölln district.
You can get one of these bad boys nowadays for around €400 to €600. I hope this video gives you an idea of the living cost in Berlin if you don't want to share. If you're looking for a Berlin apartment, I feel your pain and wish you luck from the bottom of my heart!

Hey lovely people, in this video, I refer to the term 'Studio Apartment' as an apartment that has the dining, living and bedroom in one room. Yes, most people think of a studio apartment as having the kitchen a part of it as well, however this one is split from the main room. Thought I'd clarify. Enjoy the video and stay healthy!

In some places in the US it is an "efficiency apartment". But often no bonus hallway with extra space. Or in some particularly newer or suburban one, the opposite - a bedroom and a living room with a kitchen dividing them but no full wall or door to the bedroom or something similar. But of course always an actual kitchen with all major appliances and an actual bedroom closet.

I live in Kenya, which is in East Africa and we also move with our kitchens. We carry our fridge, microwave and stove/oven. There's usually a sink provided tho. So when you go apartment searching you have to put in mind where your appliances will fit. We rarely use washing machines or dishwashers because manual labor is cheaper than appliances.

No fixtures, appliances or counters?! That's crazy. I'm in California but just visited Berlin last month and really enjoyed the history. Renting in California you get everything except the fridge which is not always included. I recall in England my relatives would roll up and take their carpet with them when they moved. More of a room sized rug really but places only had cold, hard flooring so this was common.

No problem! Unfortunately the rent price cap has not come into effect. It's generally hard to get the price down since there is a lot of competition on finding apartments in Berlin. You'd be lucky to even find one at above market price easily. Actually, finding apartments are easy, but getting the apartment is hard (due to competition).

Wow!!! I’ve heard Germany has a much higher standard of living for considerably less money! A $500 -$1000 studio apt in KS, is literally ONE room. Sometimes there’s a bathroom. Your bedroom, living space, kitchen is all one small room. Kitchen being a Mini fridge you supply yourself, a hot plate you supply and table to set it on. The bathroom is a tiny hole in the wall w shower and toilet if your lucky, or a community bathroom down the hall. There is half the square footage as what you’ve just shown as well! Often they are old buildings w no natural Light & few windows. On the plus side.... we get a lightbulb! 😂

I've heard that sometimes the former tenants may want to leave the kitchen stuff and sell it to the next tenant. But it makes no sense whatsoever to me. Each kitchen space is very different. And cabinets are heavy and require a truck to move. Do you have new countertops made to fit the new arrangement? In any US apartment the whole kitchen is expected with only on occasion in some unusual bargain rental you might have to get a refrigerator. Also the light fixture thing is absurd. A basic two bulb ceiling light (Home Depot-28cm. 2-Light White Flush Mount with Frosted Swirl Glass Shade) is $11 (€9). These are what is in my crappy Brooklyn apartment and they are fine. Then if the tenant wants something spiffier they can buy their own. In the US also bedroom closets are present generally even in apartments over 100 years old. In nicer ones maybe even a walk-in closet. Germans are generally sensible and efficient but none of this sensible or efficient. The bathroom only needs an expandable spring rod ($8) and a shower curtain of whatever price from under $10 to as much as you want to pay. Usually in the US a rod is there and you buy a curtain (if it isn't already glass doors).

Easy solution : Never move. That's what people do. But it's considered a personal thing, you want your own choosen quality and design. And kitchens are most often modular. If you have an IKEA kitchen, in your next appartment, either you buy a few items more, or you sell a few shelfs on ebay. It's as if you rent a parking spot. It does not include the car, and nobody wants it to include the car. The little wholes in the wall you have to close with plaster when you move out. The walls are of brick or concrete, not so easy to wreck. Drywall is the exception, never used when building a house, sometimes used to part a huge room, into two smaller ones.

Long time furnished is hardly available, would be called a boarding house nowadays (no german terman for that). But in these days you can just check for short term apparments that are usually rented out for a few days or weeks. (on booking or AirBnB) Now in Corona-times you might get it longer term, cause of missing tourists. Short Term rental is under lockdown restrictions, longterm - as a place to live - has no restrictions. (But don't pay the announced weekly rate. Half price for a few months should be fine).

no problem about buying a kitchen but can you take it with you to the next apartment?
@ExpatCaptures
@ExpatCaptures 3 жыл бұрын
You can definitely. But cabinets are usually bulky as hell, so you’ll need to take a lot apart and put it back together after the move. so some people just sell it and get the buyer to pick it up (then buy another one that fits the new space).

The company that manages this property is not good and I prefer not to promote it. Looking at reviews, I’d say at least 80% of their customers feel the same way. Stay tuned and I’ll definitely try to post more content and share better-deserving businesses to my viewers.

I word of advice, which by the way has nothing to do with discrimination. I myself am of mixed race. Be very cautious with regards to who will be your neighbors. I am currently living near Indian computer engineering students. Ever since they moved in I have been having issues with my Wifi and computer network being hacked. Besides that, they like to save money and so they will fit about 4 people in a small 1 bedroom apartment. Which causes excessive noise at all hours. Additionally they like having phone conversations outside which usually tends to be in front of other tenants apartments which can cause a disturbance. When they use the laundry room they leave the clothes in the machines over night and do not clean up after themselves once they are done. Additionally, They are not very clean in general. Once a cat must have taken a dump near their front door and they never cleaned it up. This attacted flies in my home. It was a mess.
