Shared apartment Berlin
Shared apartment in Berlin, without detours
Finding a shared apartment in Berlin normally means writing fifty messages, attending viewings where eight applicants sit in a circle, and losing anyway. Germans call this a WG, and the search for a room in one is a rite of passage nobody enjoys. With us there is no audition: you choose a room, sign online and move in.
Our flats are small by Berlin standards. At STACEY Mitte on the Fischerinsel, exactly two private rooms share one bathroom and one kitchen, so you have one housemate rather than a corridor full. At STACEY Moabit on Stromstraße there are three rooms per flat, and one of them has its own bathroom.
Every room is fully furnished and the kitchen is equipped. One monthly rate covers furniture, heating, electricity, water, WiFi and weekly cleaning of the common areas, which removes the two things that reliably end friendships in shared flats: the cleaning rota and the utility bill.
What that means for you
One housemate in Mitte, two in Moabit
Not a ten-person flat. Each room card shows a drawing of the layout, so you can see exactly what is shared and what is yours before you book.
No casting, no application
Choose a room, sign the lease digitally, move in. There is no viewing where five people vote on you, and no rejection because someone else fitted better.
Cleaning is organised
A service cleans the common areas weekly and it is included in the rent. The most common source of conflict in shared flats simply does not arise.
Registration included
You get the landlord confirmation before you move in. In many Berlin shared flats the main tenant cannot or will not issue one, which leaves you unable to register.
You do not choose who lives next door
A shared apartment that grew out of friendships is something we cannot offer. Your housemates are already there when you arrive, and they change over the years. In exchange you never have to apply, impress anyone or be rejected. If you want a tight house community that picks its own members, look for a classic WG. If you want a quiet room in pleasant company without three months of searching, this is better.
Fragen zu Shared apartment in Berlin, beantwortet
What Germans call a WG, is that the same thing?+
Yes. WG is short for Wohngemeinschaft, and it is the word used on every German rental platform, so it is worth knowing. The difference with us is the size and the process: two to three rooms per flat, and no selection round to get in.
Who will I be living with?+
Mostly people in their twenties and thirties: students, interns, people starting a job, and a lot of internationals, since more than half of our members come from outside Germany. The community team organises events, and the common areas downstairs are where people actually meet.
Can I move in with a friend or partner?+
Partners yes: rooms marked for two people take a second occupant named in the lease. Moving in with a friend into the same flat depends on whether two rooms there happen to be free at the same time; the community team will check if you ask.
What if I do not get along with my housemate?+
Talk to the community team rather than enduring it. A move to another room in the same house is possible when one is free, and the team handles the practical side. This is the advantage of a managed building over a private shared flat, where a conflict usually ends with someone moving out of the city.
Do I need to speak German?+
No. The lease, the booking flow, the house rules and the community all work in English. German helps with the authorities, but the registration confirmation we issue is accepted regardless of what language you speak.
