For commuters, relocation & transition periods

Temporary Living in Essen – furnished & flexible

Sometimes you only need a home for a while – when changing jobs, while your move is not yet complete, or when your new flat only becomes available in a few weeks. Our furnished temporary apartments in Essen step in exactly then: ready to move in immediately, completely furnished, without months of commitment.

Kitchen, Wi-Fi, towels, bed linen – everything is there, you just bring your suitcase. You book flexibly for the time you actually need and save yourself the deposit, furniture shopping and paperwork of a classic rental.

Whether you are a commuter working in Essen during the week or new to the city in a transition period: a temporary apartment gives you peace and privacy that a hotel cannot offer long-term – at a price that makes far more sense for longer stays.

Tell us from when and for how long you need a place to stay. For longer periods we offer discounted weekly and monthly rates and will find the right apartment together. Personal contact instead of anonymous management goes without saying.

Best price guarantee: Found it cheaper on Airbnb or Booking? We refund the difference + a 20 € credit.

Super Wohnung, sehr gemütlich mit eigenem Stellplatz. Würde ich gerne nochmal buchen.

Sacha – via Airbnb
★★★★★

Wir waren als 4-köpfige Familie vor Ort. Die Wohnung ist klein aber fein. Ein Supermarkt ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Die Lage zur Zeche Zollverein ist super (25 Minuten zu Fuß). Der Stellplatz vor der Tür ist perfekt.

Frequently asked questions

From what length of stay does a temporary apartment beat a hotel?

Even for a few nights you live more comfortably with your own kitchen – and from about a week, a furnished apartment is usually significantly cheaper than a hotel room.

Do I need to bring furniture or equipment?

No. Our apartments are fully furnished and equipped – including kitchen, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels. You only need your suitcase.

How flexible is the rental period?

Very flexible – from one week to several months. Just tell us your timeframe and we will work around it.

We look forward to welcoming you!
