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.
@@SonyaUsmanova2020 oh, dear! I'm crossing my fingers for you! But finding an affordable appartment in Berlin is as easy as winning a million in the raffles.
I have heard about the kitchens not being included. I believe the same set up exists in France. I would find it tedious having to take my whole kitchen with me every time I changed apartments. Thank you for the video!
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.
As a Aussie currently living in the US but considering a move to Germany next year, your videos are really informative. But far out! The lack of fly screens and missing an entire freaking kitchen is wild!
Thank you! Haha and yes! It’s so weird you can actually buy these makeshift velcro fly screens that stick on to your window (or get a proper one for a higher price).
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.
Not all flats in Berlin lack kitchens, but with the rental market being as tight as it is the past years, landlords don't bother with the expense anymore, they won't have problems finding tenants anyway.
So they really expect you to move appliances every time you move? and in a lower cost apartment as well. goodness that seems unreasonable especially as none of those appliances will fit in that lift! you'd be better off getting a more expensive apartment and not have to buy appliances assuming you can find an apt with those appliances. wow that is so weird. thank you for showing us these apartments and quirks of living in berlin!
Yeh so kitchens and appliances are pretty much commonly considered as ‘furniture’ here. So you would take away your kitchen and appliances just as you would with your sofa. With this apartment, most appliances fit in the lift actually, however some complexes really do have even smaller lifts!
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).
@ emjayay Isnt Brooklyn rent 3x what the rent is for this apartment, and they are often old and not renovated. I rather get the kitchen stuff, where you can w it with you, than pay the higher rent.
Thank you for another informative tour! The prices have changed... I believe it is cheaper than when I used to live in Berlin back in 2011. I rented an apartment on the North (U-bahn Station Alt Tegel) for €400. But it was furnished, however not so nice as this one. Anyway, nice to know what are the options on the market currently.
Thank youuuu Anna! Yep, pretty affordable I would say but it’s still super super hard to find an apartment in Berlin nowadays. I’ve never been in a furnished apartment in Berlin before so I’m keen to check one out soon! 🙂
Prices overall are definitely higher than in 2011 now. Furnished apartments are always more expensive. On top of that it depends on who the landlord is. Private landlords and investment firms are usually more expensive that state owned properties.
U forgot to mention, that cheap flats are often reserved for WBS program. And its still easier to find something cheap in former east berlin in plattenbau. 6 months ago i have found a similar flat to rhis presentedin the video, but with no loggia, in Lichtenberg, warm miete 390 eur.
I never understood the kitchen thing. Not all kitchens are the same size and shape so if what you have from last place doesn't fit you toss it and buy new again? The light thing is really cheap!
Haha completely agree. You would have to sell the kitchen. And since most people are in the same situation when they get a new apartment, you will have many people interested in buying it when you post an ad online.
@@ExpatCaptures I would think new person would buy the kitchen saving both the hassle then it just stays there and that would end it all. Doesn't it wreck the walls ripping off cupboards and counters or are they not even attached? So many questions! I don't think I have ever heard of another country doing this kitchen thing.
You can buy the kitchen if the landlord lets the old tenant pass it onto the new tenant. But for hygiene reasons and personal design/taste reasons as well, a kitchen may often be seen as an additional piece of furniture, just like a sofa.
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.
IKEA is exactly where I headed when I rented outside Frankfurt! We did have light six tires in place, however. A cost to consider in this unit in Berlin is window coverings. I rejected one apartment based on huge windows and what covering them would cost.
True Carol! I totally forgot to mention that and it’s such a valid point. Especially when apartments have uniquely-sized windows, window blinds can get very costly!
@@ExpatCaptures Cheap miniblinds are really cheap. You can shorten them to the desired length or just forget about it and have a little pileup at the bottom. Of course if there's a big expanse of glass instead of standard windows they wouldn't work. And roller shades are also pretty cheap.
Thought I mention that it's mandatory by law in Berlin that every kitchen is equipped with a sink and a stove when renting out. If it isn't you can demand from your landlord.
I would like to see this chap do a video on his ancestors country and the status of quo on the same subject matter. I'm sure it would help his people out a lot.
Thank you for the mentioning the rent cap. I am on the search for an appartment in Berlin center and I didn't know that the rent cap was a thing. Not quite sure how to calculate the exact price and how to get the rent down though if it is too high...
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).
Great content thank you so much for sharing your experience!!!! Could you please share some efficient sites for someone whos looking to rent an apartment?! cheers!
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! 😂
Write a personal introduction and copy that to every message. Landlords will show interest even though you might not have all your documents ready. And just apply to all the listings that slightly interest you. You can always reject later.
California landlords do not give you a fridge as I experienced in any other states, I thought that is obnoxious and cheap, how much a fridge costs? Come on Golden State! Well, Berlin seems to do it in a totally different level, they give you a naked kitchen has absolutely nothing!!! That is speechless. But, seriously, nothing is right or wrong, every place in the world has their own rules and traditions, everyone have to adapt to local tradition. Thanks for the video, quite informative.
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
This recommendation literally came at the right time, I’m down by $7k in stocks this week alone.. its crazy! I just looked up Stephanie online and researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient, I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.
Most of the time the landlord has the master control. Meaning they have the capability to allow the tenant to turn it on or not, depending on the month. During summer for example tenants are usually not able to turn it on.
Never heard anyone call them a "powerpoint" outlet. I've always just called them plug ins or outlets lol. It's always cool to learn the differences of stuff and things from place to place. That's just crazy it doesnt even come with a fridge. I really gotta get out of america one of these days and see the world🤦♀️
Aussies call them Power Point Outlets. Yes, getting out of your country will open you up to the fact that people live and speak differently and it's a great learning experience.
I think you are giving people a false sense of prices at the moment. Especially now that the Mietendeckel has been declared unconstitutional. You are very lucky to have found anything inside the S-Bahn Ring for that price!
@@ExpatCaptures the problem is the cheaper places rarely go onto the open market and you usually can only get them through connections, since the ones advertised publicly usually attract hundreds of applicants. Not saying there aren't still low rents in the city. I am just worried about all the people coming here with false expectations, when the reality is that for many people I know, it can take years to find an unfurnished apartment with a long-term lease, especially if you are a freelancer.
Yep, around the same and higher. If you want to check the current prices, you can just go to any German property platform like immoscout24 and there you will get a much better idea of different price ranges.
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).
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.
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).
Similar to Sydney Australia. Except we pay that amount of money on a weekly base ( kitchen / kichenette is included though) Hmmmm ? Should I move to Berlin ?
You can just look for short term apartment Berlin on Google. A lot of businesses offer that. It should be easier to get than a normal apartment contract.
It's an affordable price for any region. For Berlin it's almost nothing. I'll gladly get my own kitchen in there. I have learned to be handy and install it myself.
This apartment was only vacant at the time because there was a 🚨huge construction site right next to the house for another house that was being built right in front of your window and the damage in the wall between the bathroom and the kitchen, which could have something to do with the water pipes⛑️, I wouldn't ignore🕶️ it. The house is located directly on a multi-lane main road🛣️. and the ceiling height and doors are for dwarves. furthermore, nothing was said about the tenants wall to wall and directly above or below. They all have exactly the same number of 🔌. think about what a bargain that is to live to study 🧑🎓
Hello guys,i have a plan to move at Berlin in 2 months,i was living at England right now,but i am not happy with the houses here.. Could someone send me link for the best site in Berlin to rent a flat? please! thanks!
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.
@@ArilindeSapkotaSAHM Why should I write bs? My daughter is living in Berlin. So I should know. Or don't you know what "rent price cap" means? Or are you one of those grasshopper capitalists who only are interested in "making" money never mind what bad effects you cause for others?
I dont get the hype around these wellensteyn jackets. they seem to be especially popular in two very different type of groups. either old german pensioners or young men with migration background.
Me neither. I just got it because I don’t mind how they look. But I definitely see lot of people in Neukölln wearing them, if you know what I’m sayin’.. Not too many Asians though.
Haha ... wirkt auf mich wie die "Ghettoversion" einer roomtour von Enes Yilmazer... leider werden Wohnungen in Berlin (grad in Neukölln) immer teurer... ganz früher eine tolle Gegend für Familien , dann hat sich der Ruf stark verschlechtert und keiner wollte hier wohnen ... nun entwickelt es sich zu einem szenebezirk wo auf einmal wieder jeder hin will
@@ExpatCaptures You did call the window a door. You also called the building a "house". At least in the US English an apartment building would not be called a house, which refers only to a single family building. You would always say "apartment building" or possibly "apartment house". I think you may be starting to think in German and translate into English!
I'm happy to help with questions but if it's an apartment you're looking for then I'm not a real estate agent and I've already been asked by 70 other people haha 😂

Yep, around the same and higher. If you want to check the current prices, you can just go to any German property platform like immoscout24 and there you will get a much better idea of different price ranges.
Thanks a lot 😊
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).
Smart guy
How so?! 😅
I can easily spot one 🤩
I may appear smart on the outside, but I am as dumb as a cashew nut in the inside.
It's okay, imperfections make life more interesting.
You got that right!
Please assuming you can tell us the name of the company that owns the apartment that will help us too
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.
no problem about buying a kitchen but can you take it with you to the next apartment?
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).
Need an apartment such as this... Moving in soon to Germany ...is it possible? Can you it possible?
It is very much possible! Good luck!!
Welcome. I just moved to Germany too and I am searching for an apartment.
Not bad for this price range!
Rent prices are increasing rapidly here though!
Can you make vdo how to buy BVG 24stundenticket at Berlin ticket automat? Please
This should give you a rough idea.

@@ExpatCaptures thank you so much
When in the Year was this filmed?
Around the publish date of this video
@@ExpatCaptures Thank you :)
1:03 hazardous zone!
For 450???? What where do you find those!!???
A lot of rental management companies have lower prices (not private owners). But be prepared for crappy service when you need it the most.
@@ExpatCaptures I see so it really is a you get what you pay for kinda thing. Most places like that online were 7-1000€ when I was searching
Yeh but nowadays prices are already higher on average. I shot this a while ago
How can I find Like that
Search on platforms
Little fridge, toaster oven and an electrical burner or 2 and you're in business.
You got it! :)
Similar to Sydney Australia. Except we pay that amount of money on a weekly base ( kitchen / kichenette is included though) Hmmmm ? Should I move to Berlin ?
Yeh I realised that first thing when I left Australia and came to Berlin. Rent is always monthly!
But you don’t make as much as in Sydney, based on purchasing parity power, that’s why
True! But other cities in Germany can be higher paying as well. In Germany, where you live can sometimes be influential.
I m here in Karl Marx area,can u help me ? please
Where do you find these cheap flats? I’m looking for flats to rent in Berlin now and they all start at 1000€ and higher
Nowadays it's less likely to find one at this price anymore :(
Can i stay with my husband in these types of apartment ??
Do you have to put in a light fixture yourself?
Yeh that’s what I tried to say right?
Is €300 enough for food and stuff other than rent in germany?
Probably not to be honest.
I'm only one person and would probably rent a place like this, minus the lime scale...
No one wants lime scale 😂
Through which website/agency were you renting this appartment? I am looking to move to Berlin myself this summer!
This one is a private landlord and not through a company.
Ahh cool! Is there anyway to come in contact with the landlord?
@@ChristinaWK You can use private listing sites like eBay Kleinanzeigen
True, already using that. But thanks for recommending 🤗✨
It’s hard to find one here, good luck!
Is 450 the price without the rent cap?
Hey, yes without. But nowadays apartments are getting pricey again.
I am coming to germany with Family & kids. I can get an temp apartment for 1 or 2 months..is there any sites to search? Is that possible to get?
You can just look for short term apartment Berlin on Google. A lot of businesses offer that. It should be easier to get than a normal apartment contract.
i am german and i remember kitchen living room etc all one area. lol
👉
Sometimes you might have to bring your own faucets 🤣🤣
Yeh bro!
I m in Berlin sir ,can u help me for room please ?
For €450 a month you can't really ask for more, it's very offered-able
You are not wrong!
It's an affordable price for any region. For Berlin it's almost nothing. I'll gladly get my own kitchen in there. I have learned to be handy and install it myself.
From London Brixton. UK. The foyer, looks good for mugging someone! Lmao.
I guess that's another way to put it :)
Yes, the management is clearly not making any effort there.
This apartment was only vacant at the time because there was a 🚨huge construction site right next to the house for another house that was being built right in front of your window and the damage in the wall between the bathroom and the kitchen, which could have something to do with the water pipes⛑️, I wouldn't ignore🕶️ it. The house is located directly on a multi-lane main road🛣️. and the ceiling height and doors are for dwarves. furthermore, nothing was said about the tenants wall to wall and directly above or below. They all have exactly the same number of 🔌. think about what a bargain that is to live to study 🧑🎓
Yes you have buy your own oven kitchen in many places. Many Germans say it is good to buy your own but I still find it annoying
Truth.
Please tell me brother location I need
Hello guys,i have a plan to move at Berlin in 2 months,i was living at England right now,but i am not happy with the houses here.. Could someone send me link for the best site in Berlin to rent a flat? please! thanks!
Try ImmoScout24 or Immowelt.
@@ExpatCaptures thank you mate!
Can we live two people, me and my wife?
Yes you can, if you are fine with one room for two, it’s totally possible!
depends on landlord, most tend to avoid more then 1 people per room
Berlín it's okk, but London is imposible get something like that for that price 🙂👍🙂
Yeh London is damn expensive!!
A 450€ Rent apartment without kitchen doesn't make any sense, Setting up kitchen is very expensive.
If build it yourself, it's a little annoying but you can save a lot of 💰💸
@@ExpatCaptures how much to be exact?
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.
Rent price cap has been "lifted", sadly!
Is that so?
@@ArilindeSapkotaSAHM Why should I write bs? My daughter is living in Berlin. So I should know. Or don't you know what "rent price cap" means? Or are you one of those grasshopper capitalists who only are interested in "making" money never mind what bad effects you cause for others?
The rent better be cheap beings as though you have to buy a whole kitchen and light fixtures!! Thats not cheap!!
It is cheap for Berlin :)
I dont get the hype around these wellensteyn jackets. they seem to be especially popular in two very different type of groups. either old german pensioners or young men with migration background.
Me neither. I just got it because I don’t mind how they look. But I definitely see lot of people in Neukölln wearing them, if you know what I’m sayin’.. Not too many Asians though.
@@ExpatCaptures You wear it with a Jeans. Big improvement to the usual sweatpants combinations.
Hello would you suggest shared flat availability in berlin please!
I'm sorry but I'm not a real estate agentor landlord lol.

It is pathetic that apartment is provided with heater, but not with required light bulbs.
Right? :)
Haha ... wirkt auf mich wie die "Ghettoversion" einer roomtour von Enes Yilmazer... leider werden Wohnungen in Berlin (grad in Neukölln) immer teurer... ganz früher eine tolle Gegend für Familien , dann hat sich der Ruf stark verschlechtert und keiner wollte hier wohnen ... nun entwickelt es sich zu einem szenebezirk wo auf einmal wieder jeder hin will
Haha Enes ist super cool. Ich kenne ihn!
Somehow i wont take this appartment its not comfortable its dirty & requires a lot of tedious work to be done!
Fair.
Kaltmiete
450 kalt? 😂 no way it’s that cheap!!
I guess I did get it a couple of years ago, so prices might have gone up a little, but 450 is still feasible, just more competition on those ones.
Berlin is cheap compared to Canadian cities
Yeh that's true
Yeh that's true
That apartment looks so third world. I'm from India. We have much better apartments here
Bahaha! You're probably right mate 😅
Perfect for a nationalist Turk
it’s DER SPIELPLATZ, depp
and i never knew that a window is called a door, especially in the empty ‘kitchen’
I said ‘the Spielplatz’ not ‘die’. But thanks for your legitimate concern :)
@@ExpatCaptures You did call the window a door. You also called the building a "house". At least in the US English an apartment building would not be called a house, which refers only to a single family building. You would always say "apartment building" or possibly "apartment house". I think you may be starting to think in German and translate into English!
My friend in a truble ...could i contact you sir ...hopefully
I'm happy to help with questions but if it's an apartment you're looking for then I'm not a real estate agent and I've already been asked by 70 other people haha 😂
