Here we give you an overview of our tenant's requirements and the ideal and most popular apartment sizes for furnished temporary rental.
1-room and 1.5-room apartments
Apartments with a size of approx. 25 to 40 m² are among the most sought-after properties in the furnished rental sector. Units with a clearly structured floor plan and modern furnishings are particularly popular.
There is an additional advantage with 1.5-room apartments with a separate sleeping area and window - they often offer a comparable utility value to a classic 2-room apartment.
2-room apartments
Two-room apartments are particularly popular with single people and couples who value a sensible room layout. The ideal size is around 55 m².
Very large two-room apartments (75 to 100 m²) are less frequently requested, as the functional added value is generally not in proportion to the rental price - unless they are in a particularly attractive location and have upmarket furnishings.
Applicable to 1- to 2-room apartments:
- A separate study or a well-integrated work corner increases the attractiveness.
- Outdoor areas such as a balcony, roof terrace or garden area have a positive effect on rentability.
- A washing machine or washer-dryer in the apartment is a must.
- An underground parking space is usually not a decisive criterion for this size of apartment.
3-room apartments
This apartment size (approx. 75-100 m²) is aimed at small families, shared flats with two people or tenants who would like additional space for guests or a home office.
We recommend a master bedroom with a large double bed (at least 180 x 200 cm) and a second room that can be used flexibly as a guest room or study.
For shared apartments, there should be two bedrooms of equal value and - ideally - two fully equipped bathrooms.
The higher the quality of the apartment, the more important it is to have a convenient underground parking space.
4-room-apartments and larger properties
These apartments are ideal for families with several children or project teams with several employees. They should have at least three bedrooms.
Not every bedroom needs a large double bed - beds measuring 120 x 200 cm or 140 x 200 cm are sufficient, depending on the size of the room.
The number of bathrooms is particularly relevant for this size of apartment. Two or more bathrooms significantly increase living comfort and can be a decisive factor for potential tenants.
Furnished houses
Fully furnished houses are in some ways a market in themselves. Demand for furnished houses is comparatively much lower than for furnished apartments.
In terms of typical tenant groups, the same statements made about 4-bedroom apartments and larger mostly apply. They are families with multiple children or project teams (employee shared apartments) looking for a comfortable number of bedrooms: It is not just larger living space that is important to home tenants, but a sufficient number of bedrooms. A family with, for example, three children and a nanny usually already needs at least four bedrooms. In addition, there is usually room for guests, preferably with real beds. These tenants usually find the desired number of bedrooms only in a house.
Particularly beginning with the 3-room apartments, tenants are paying attention not only to comfort but also to functionality. This means: Above all, the number of bathrooms in conjunction with the number of bedrooms becomes decisive. The "study" feature can now support rentability to a greater extent than in the past. As apartment size increases, a convenient underground parking space becomes more important.
Your apartment is "different"?
Our experiences are indications, not mandatory conditions. Your apartment or house differs from the above conditions? Please do not hesitate to ask us about the possibilities of furnished renting. Even apartments and houses with very individual characteristics or completely untypical conditions can find a suitable market slot in the furnished sector. The individuality of the property is becoming more and more important, which is why your property might be in particular demand. We are looking forward to your call.
