I used to live on the economy (I was single Military) in a German Apartment (I was the only American in the building) and loved it. My landlord and wife were very nice to me and I just loved living there. My apartment was almost the same as yours and it is very true about making a lot of noise as you come in the front door. That was the first thing they told me when I went to look at the apartment. I lived at my apartment for 4 yrs and had the best time of my life living there ( city I lived in was Fulda). Funny thing is, that when they found out where I was original from (Hawai'i), they were so talkative and aske me all kinds of questions about Hawai'i. I even used to grill out and cooked a lot of foods from home and they just loved it. Hope you enjoy your time there, I know I kinda miss it myself...lol. Much Aloha 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
The glass door is normally on the living room door to allow some light into the hall/entryway which has no windows of its own. I think they got swapped. Very nice apartment.
Wow, 750 for this! That's a steal for Berlin, especially Mitte. Very nice space. It would say good luck. Btw: about the "Zentralheizung". I don't think it's free energy. Because it's a shared system, one you share with all the apartments in the building and in the end you pay are shared fee in the "warmmiete". 🙈
Thanks so much Arno!! But as far as I understand, the ‘shared fee’ is only for other services like heating outside in the foyer, rubbish removal, elevator maintenance, cleaning, etc., not the heating that you have control of in the apartment. That would be extremely unfair to a single person having to pay for heating in complex with another apartment holding four people.
@@ExpatCaptures My bad, didn't have a proper look. On the radiators are these heat allocator, these for calculate the useage/consumption. Well good luck and hope we don't need the heathing anymore with better weather coming up.
@@ExpatCaptures Actually if you have a regular rental contract and not subleting that's kinda how it works. The warmmiete includes an estimated amount of money that will be used for heating based on what the tentant bevor you used to pay. When you get you "Nebenkostenabrechnung" that is when it will be "really" calculated the first time. The amount they will charge you for heating is made up of 50% your own consumption and 50% of what all tenants have used, broken down to one part for each tentant based on the square meters of your flat. After your first "Nebenkostenabrechnung" they will look at what amount of money you have paid with the rent already and if its to much or not enough you will need to pay / get the difference and you monthly rent will go up or down accordingly. So with centralheating "free" means you don't need to pay money in addition to your rent, since it is included in your "warm Miete" but you are still paying for it in the end.
@@ninajurgens735 Yes the split in the heating cost is needed to compensate for good and bad apartments. An inner apartment needs much less heat than one on the outer side with 3 outer walls. The people on the upper floors get free heat from the apartments below too. The heating donated in the not insulated pipes would just get split between all tenets.

I have same door with glass in my Athenian apartment (bulid on the 1960s ). The apartment is amazing and good price, because it is huge and renovated. I hope the bills are included. The natural light is amazing too.Mitte is a good area, no? Im moving there on January!
My one-room Berlin apartment is EUR 450 for 20m². I've been looking for a new place for a year now but still didn't get anything. It's really frustrating because salaries are too low in Berlin compared to rent.
I’m surprised salaries are low there considering that’s it’s the nation’s capital. In London 🇬🇧, salaries are high despite the cost of living are high and civil servants get paid a bit more for working in London.
What is the median salary In Berlin? I am hearing about high rental prices in Berlin but they seem very similar to ours in Bratislava Slovakia, but the median salary here is like 1100 eur. 😅
Hello there! The device is to track consumption of the heaters. Nowadays, these devices have this data automatically transmitted to a central communication device. Older apartments and houses sometimes have devices where a person still needs to come in to measure the usage every year.
Can you please tell me what this apt was listed as ? Cold - Warm ??? I hear so many sayings and was this listed as a one-bedroom - 2 room ??? Just to get an idea? Thanks
@@keepitraw1 it depends on the field in which you're working in. The finance sector will for sure provide you better opportunities, but not other sector's though. We have rather equivalent tax percentages but not for the same portion of salary however
Found this big flat in Mitte at 750 eur? Omg you won the lottery. I live in Berlin and looking for a flat now, and this is really not normal these days. Could you let me know if the price is under mietendeckel ? and if so, how much difference you need to pay?? To me, the biggest obstacle for flat hunting is Mietendeckel :(
@@ExpatCaptures still amazing price!!! Thank you for such a quick reply. With the fully renovated bathroom, EBK, and Balkon! I wish i can find one like yours soon. I would love to see the flat once it is ready. subscribed :)
Thank you such a great video, May I ask where you found this? I have been looking for a month now and all are horrible or expensive I saw, moving to Berlin in May, looking forward for guidance
The heaters can get extremely hot. Having even just one of those in the size of my living room will be more than enough to keep you warm (if they're working properly).
Hi, I am also recently moved to Germany and wanted to know, from where you have bought the Bed and Wardrobe? And the approximate price please? Thanks in advance.
I really like your videos and the touch of humor you put into the videos. I just realized that I wasn't a subscriber yet. I was curious to know, if you don't mind me asking, if this is near Wedding. I hear that it is very affordable in that part rather than Moabit.
Thank you so much! And thanks for subscribing and supporting smaller creators like me 👊 I'm very grateful. It's not Wedding but since it's where I live and for privacy's sake, I prefer to make it a little harder to find for the majority of viewers. If you've seen the walls and front door though, I suppose it's not that hard to find out, if you're familiar with the area 🙂 Though, you're right. Wedding is usually a very affordable neighbourhood compared to some other areas!
Thank you David. In my humble opinion, I consider it cheap for the location that I got. Yes, I really want a nice green living divider outside! Things are a bit harder to get nowadays due to COVID here though.
Hi! Thank you for creating this video, it was very well received! I was wondering what are your thoughts on renting prices around Kurfürstendamm and Nollendorfplatz and also what do you think about these places in Berlin?
Hi Marius, appreciate the nice comment! I think Kudamm and Nollendorfplatz are great locations, especially if you work around the western area of the city. Apartments there will most likely be more on the pricier side. If you really love that part of the city, then it might be worth the price! It’s probably not as self-sufficient as other places in the city, meaning if you want a selection of close-in-proximity supermarkets, pharmacies, local restaurants, markets, etc. things might be a little harder in comparison to districts like Prenzlauer Berg/Neukölln/Steglitz, etc., due to it naturally being more popular and somewhat more busy with tourists. Hope it helps?
Thank you very much, Ron! I visited Berlin two years ago and I fell in love with the western area of the city, especially Kudamm, Charlottenburg and Nollendorfplatz. Cant wait to come back and explore more areas from the east side. Until then, I will stick to watching your videos!
Hello Ron! Now in 2023 Im watching your very illustrative video. My son will be going to SRH and its new campus in Berlin- Neukolln. Based on your experience, which are would you recommend in terms of price, location, facilities and comfort for an 18 years old bachelor degree candidate? Thank you in advance.
Hey! You might have to do your own research here, as things change quite fast in Berlin and I'm also no longer in Germany at least for the medium future.
You forgot to show the domofon in the corridor placed on the wall; yes the glass door are in Poland also and this so bothersome at night; the full door are into the next room /living room; I remember in Berlin there are no screens on the windows and I do not know why? Are you close to the Zoo logische strasse?
Wow super nice! Good luck Alivia! To be honest, searching for an apartment in Berlin is on the tougher side, but you'll be fine. Let me know if you'd like some tips when you get here!!
@@ExpatCaptures yeah I have heard that it’s super stressful 😅 thank you so much, will continue to support your channel and stay on board with the videos you post as they’re really helpful. Even though it will be difficult finding a flat I know it will be worth it as Berlin is such an incredible place !!
Nice apartment. Just moved in to Berlin and temporarily living in Prenzlauer Berg. Looking for a beautiful nicely located apartment just as this one. Wish me luck:)
Hi. I have moved to Berlin and I am looking for an apartment. I have just watched your room tour and I would like to ask what websites you can suggest to me for searching offers? I am using immonet and immobilienscout24.
Thank you Viona :) you can look at private listing sites like eBay Kleinanzeigen or join Facebook groups. There, you wouldn’t face the same level of competition as you probably would with apartment search platforms like immoscout.
Airbnb is renting long term too nowadays because of the lack of tourists. You can bargain half the price. Respond to private landlords (also on immoscout and immowelt etc) with a personal message.
It's crazy how much you pay for a two room apartment in Berlin. I live in a small town near Hanover.. got 5 rooms + 2 bathrooms for 490€ including things like water etc
i live in helsinki and berlin rent prices make me cry from jealousy. i live in a 38 sq m apt with my partner and cat and we pay 990 euros. For 750 you can get a utility closet here
normal at least in Hessen is the washing machine in the basement, only in really new apartments you have it in the bathroom, which is common in the rest of Europe. I think the storage area in the entrance is meant for shoes. In Frankfurt Mitte, for an apartment that was recently renovated, on the 3d floor, with an elevator, you would most certainly pay more than 1000 euros.
Hello!!! I love your content!!!!!, My Girlfriend and I are willing to live there for 2 months this summer... what towns or suburban areas (just outside Berlin) would you choose to live in for two months (July and August) if you want a calm, and relaxing place with great transport to the city that gives you both the freedom to be in the natural outdoors and city centre without needing a car? Thanks 😊
I live in berlin and I can tell you that can’t be in the center mitte it can’t cost that little a room (one shared room with that balcony) will cost you more then 500 euros
It depends on who the landlord is. Publicly rented placed through "Wohnungsbaugesellschaften" and "Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften" are much cheaper than trough private landlords and investors. Also, it makes a huge difference whether the place is being rented furnished or not. To me this sounds reasonably prized for Berlin. It's more a matter of being lucky and actually finding and getting the place.
@@ExpatCaptures sure :) it’s exciting to see you all’s future adventures! Maybe I’ll be able to visit Germany one day and I can use these videos for ideas on where to go!
Usually the door with the glass cut is in the living room... Try to swap them and you're golden!

That place is huge. That main room with all those windows and balcony. Very nice.

Apartments there will most likely be more on the pricier side. If you really love that part of the city, then it might be worth the price! It’s probably not as self-sufficient as other places in the city, meaning if you want a selection of close-in-proximity supermarkets, pharmacies, local restaurants, markets, etc. things might be a little harder in comparison to districts like Prenzlauer Berg/Neukölln/Steglitz, etc., due to it naturally being more popular and somewhat more busy with tourists. Hope it helps?
Thank you very much, Ron! I visited Berlin two years ago and I fell in love with the western area of the city, especially Kudamm, Charlottenburg and Nollendorfplatz. Cant wait to come back and explore more areas from the east side. Until then, I will stick to watching your videos!
Hello Ron! Now in 2023 Im watching your very illustrative video. My son will be going to SRH and its new campus in Berlin- Neukolln. Based on your experience, which are would you recommend in terms of price, location, facilities and comfort for an 18 years old bachelor degree candidate? Thank you in advance.
Hey! You might have to do your own research here, as things change quite fast in Berlin and I'm also no longer in Germany at least for the medium future.
It's nice the price for Berlin is okay. When Tesla open their Factory a lot of people will moved in Berlin area
Tesla will definitely bring more people to Berlin!
@@ExpatCaptures and make the rent price more higher so keep it your flat

Just eBay Kleinanzeigen

Hello all.
I am going to move to Berlin next month. Because of work- will it help to find a flat with 2 rooms and price between 800-1100 eye?
In my apartment in Germany the front door was semi frosted glass. I had to put curtains over it.
The front front? 😯
You forgot to show the domofon in the corridor placed on the wall; yes the glass door are in Poland also and this so bothersome at night; the full door are into the next room /living room; I remember in Berlin there are no screens on the windows and I do not know why? Are you close to the Zoo logische strasse?
Maybe houses have it but apartments don't, because it's not a requirement for apartment owners to get one as part of their investment.
Do you pay this much each? Or is the 750 split between two people?
750 is the entire rent of the apartment. Hence, two people will split the cost. Hope it answers :)
@@ExpatCaptures ok, I’m moving to Berlin next year! You’ve got yourself a v. nice but affordable flat, it gives me hope for when I start looking :)
Wow super nice! Good luck Alivia! To be honest, searching for an apartment in Berlin is on the tougher side, but you'll be fine. Let me know if you'd like some tips when you get here!!
@@ExpatCaptures yeah I have heard that it’s super stressful 😅 thank you so much, will continue to support your channel and stay on board with the videos you post as they’re really helpful. Even though it will be difficult finding a flat I know it will be worth it as Berlin is such an incredible place !!
You're amazing thanks so much for your support.
Nice apartment. Just moved in to Berlin and temporarily living in Prenzlauer Berg. Looking for a beautiful nicely located apartment just as this one. Wish me luck:)
Good luck, it might be hard but you will eventually get one!
Hey! Great apartment tour! Which camera do you film with? The image quality is amazing!
Hi Anaita :) thank you so much. I use a Canon M50 currently.
Stunning apartment. Danke
Thanks for dropping by!!
Sorry, if I am not mistaken, this place in whole is about 70 qm with renting price 750? I dont know if BerlinUM can be that cheap.
This is with Mietendeckel. The rent without mietendeckel would be 1050.
Which area is this? I live in a not renovated one room apartment for the same price in Berlin.
I really like your hoodie :)
Lol thanks 🥹
How tall are you? Are doorways cramped for you?
German doors are smaller hehe
How large is the apartment?
Very nice place.
Thank you. It's around 75sqm.
@@ExpatCaptures thanks for the information.
Those glass doors are for let in the daylight into the floor.
Yep I figured :)
which part of mitte you live ? its wedding district?
Prefer to keep it moderately private but yes it's around there. :)
Great video! How did you find the flat?
Thanks! This one was on Kleinanzeigen. Much less competition than apartment search sites.
Great video
how much is it monthly
Hey dude!
Which camera are you using?
Thanks!
Greetings from Berlin.
Greetings! Canon M50 for now.
Where did u find it ?
eBay
Hi. I have moved to Berlin and I am looking for an apartment. I have just watched your room tour and I would like to ask what websites you can suggest to me for searching offers? I am using immonet and immobilienscout24.
Hi Ain. Welcome to Germany! I would suggest using private ad platforms like eBay Kleinanzeigen. Good luck on your search mate!
In houses its quite normal to have a laundry room
👍
Thank you for the video!
You are very very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
This place is amazing. I’m looking to move to Berlin to pursue my master’s. Any tips on how i can find a long term lease in an apartment like yours?
Thank you Viona :) you can look at private listing sites like eBay Kleinanzeigen or join Facebook groups. There, you wouldn’t face the same level of competition as you probably would with apartment search platforms like immoscout.
Airbnb is renting long term too nowadays because of the lack of tourists. You can bargain half the price. Respond to private landlords (also on immoscout and immowelt etc) with a personal message.
What about those ceiling lights?
What about them?
@@ExpatCaptures They are just hanging there. What if you do not know how to put light fixtures in correctly?
Ah, yes, then you need to get a handyman to install whatever you buy. A simple fixture is quite an easy install though.
It's crazy how much you pay for a two room apartment in Berlin. I live in a small town near Hanover.. got 5 rooms + 2 bathrooms for 490€ including things like water etc
Yep! Berlin’s rent prices are ridiculous
It's still cheaper than the Netherlands though!
@@ArilindeSapkotaSAHM And half as much as Munich and a third as much as London.
i live in helsinki and berlin rent prices make me cry from jealousy. i live in a 38 sq m apt with my partner and cat and we pay 990 euros. For 750 you can get a utility closet here
What area do you live in?
Very good
I live in Prague where wages are 2-3 times lower, and I pay 850 EUR for the apartment much smaller than yours!
But Prague! :)
normal at least in Hessen is the washing machine in the basement, only in really new apartments you have it in the bathroom, which is common in the rest of Europe.
I think the storage area in the entrance is meant for shoes.
In Frankfurt Mitte, for an apartment that was recently renovated, on the 3d floor, with an elevator, you would most certainly pay more than 1000 euros.
Shoes! Never thought of that. Thank you!!
Man, how tall are you??? Normally German doors are at least 2 m high. For Mitte, it seems you really made a great catch there.
Thanks mate. It's a nice apartment for sure. And yeh I think the doors are cut lower than usual.
"The bedroom is 20sqm..." - that' the entire size of my apartment!!! 😔😔😔😔
Size doesn’t matter! Am I right?
Hello!!! I love your content!!!!!, My Girlfriend and I are willing to live there for 2 months this summer... what towns or suburban areas (just outside Berlin) would you choose to live in for two months (July and August) if you want a calm, and relaxing place with great transport to the city that gives you both the freedom to be in the natural outdoors and city centre without needing a car? Thanks 😊
Hey Cesar, if you want to stay outside a little, maybe Steglitz is a nice place to look. Good luck!
Are you like at least 2m tall? Or are Berlin doors very low :D
Might be the doors 😅
I live in berlin and I can tell you that can’t be in the center mitte it can’t cost that little a room (one shared room with that balcony) will cost you more then 500 euros
It’s a little out of the center center, but still in the district ‘Mitte’.
It depends on who the landlord is. Publicly rented placed through "Wohnungsbaugesellschaften" and "Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften" are much cheaper than trough private landlords and investors. Also, it makes a huge difference whether the place is being rented furnished or not. To me this sounds reasonably prized for Berlin. It's more a matter of being lucky and actually finding and getting the place.
how did you find this apartment for such a good price?
Ebay
@@ExpatCaptures really? wow you're so lucky!
Great video sir! New subscriber here :) Will be watching your future content.
Thanks so much Alex. Super grateful that you watched and subscribed (out of everything on YT!!!). 🙏
@@ExpatCaptures sure :) it’s exciting to see you all’s future adventures! Maybe I’ll be able to visit Germany one day and I can use these videos for ideas on where to go!
through which company did you get your apartment? :)
It was a private listing!
Hello. I'm a 21 yo, and I want to move to berlin. Is 2500 euros enough to get by for a month, while I look for a job?
Hi! Yes, that should be plenty whilst you look for a job here. Though every person spends differently so please do your own research as well.
You have a very comfortable apartment, is that in Neukölln?
This one is in Mitte. My old one was in Neukölln!
