Good and responsive

Joana was responsive, patient and a sympathetic person to communicate with. She made the entire experience of renting an apartment fuss-free, and I am very glad to have had her to help me through this.

Absolutely friendly and professional

Absolutely friendly, professional work. They always communicated with me in a timely manner. They provide their services in English as well. And I admired their campaign to help refugees from Ukraine. It's impressive.
I would definitely recommend this agent if you search for a furnished apartment in Hamburg.
Vielen Dank!!

overall experience end-to-end

from looking to the apartment, to the contract signature and the handing over, the experience was frictionless especially for an expat living in Hamburg, having almost everything translated to English was also a game-changer!

Exceptional Service

City Wohnen helped us to secure the rental of our new place within a short time frame, something I originally though would be impossible, the communication between us and the landlord was fast and smooth, communication with us was also frequent, on time and clear. I would recommend City Wohnen because they have really good agents who look after both the landlord and tenant by making the whole renting process stress free. Thank you.

Reliable, serious and professional

Reliable, serious and professional. Very supportive and fast. Recommended.
The apartment I rent is exactly as described. Mrs Strobel, which was in touch with me, is a great person, professional and very kind, switching from German to English easily and without any concerns.
Top rated.

THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE!

Immediately when I moved into the apartment, I realized that the apartment had extremely serious issues. I immediately noticed a fairly large puddle of water in the room, leaking from both the left and the right side of the heater. Since this is the only heater in the living room/bedroom (it's a studio apartment), and it only heats sometimes, often only partially, I am often left absolutely freezing in the apartment - and this is during the middle of the winter when the temperatures go even below 0°, and in the height of a pandemic! Despite me complaining for 10 days already, the heater is still leaking left and right non-stop and I still continue to freeze in the apartment. City-Wohnen just keeps telling me that the issues will be repaired as soon as possible and that they are taking care of it, but this is what they have been telling me every day for 10 days already! And in reality, I have not even received so much as a phone call yet from the repairmen who they keep saying will come to the apartment. It seems to me that City-Wohnen doesn't even care about endangering your health. But this is not even the only problem with the apartment that I immediately discovered, there are more, and none of them have been repaired for already 10 days now! The bathroom seems to have sewage problems, so the entire bathroom reeks very, very strongly every day of sewage! I can barely get myself to briefly go into the bathroom when I need to use it, and sometimes after just spending one minute in the bathroom I start coughing because I feel like I am being chocked. I could not be more miserable in this apartment. Also, probably needless to mention, the hygienic conditions of the apartment are also catastrophic, with the most dirty shower I have ever seen, and long hairs all around the apartment. I keep writing about all these issues to City-Wohnen every day, but every day for already 10 days now they just keep telling me it will be fixed "as soon as possible". They also refuse to immediately terminate the contract, no matter how much I insist on it. It seems to me that City-Wohnen and their landlord (who City-Wohnen told me rents out several apartments with them!) care more about getting money from me than about endangering my health.

Hamburg is the most beautiful city in Germany, but thanks to City-Wohnen, my stay here has been nothing but extreme stress, every moment, of every day; literally don't even have the time to do my job properly, because I am just dealing with all the stress they cause me. They have turned my experience in Hamburg into THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE!

Dear Reviewer,
We are very sorry that you had a bad experience in this apartment. As discussed, we had hoped that you would update your post to reflect that we worked together to find a good resolution as per your wishes. We are happy that the situation has been resolved in the meanwhile and hope that you are happy in your new location.
Of course, we will examine what went wrong and if we could have done better. Please note that the apartment lessor hires his own cleaners and tradespeople to make repairs, for example, so we could only report back to you on the information we had from third parties.
Thankfully your experience remains the absolute exception as you will see in other reviews. It also remains an exception with this lessor, with whom we have worked together successfully for many years.
We take your criticisms seriously and are continuously working to improve our processes. We wish you all the best and remain
Yours sincerely, Joana for the City-Wohnen team

Amazing service

Amazing support and I would highly recommend their services to anybody! My summary from my recent experience with them was that they are very helpful, friendly, professional, and super communicative from the first step all the way to the final step. As I am a non German speaker, they really supported me every step of the way without a problem. They are very efficient and available via telephone and email which made the whole process really superb. Thank you!

I booked an apartment with city wohnen…

I booked an apartment with city wohnen in Hmaburg nordfriesländer straße 29 and stayed for 6 months. The experience was initially really good until it came to leave the apartment so many hidden clauses refund of deposit depends totally on the mood of owner city wohnen does not help. even if City wohnen representative take the damage report the Owner added costs unnecessarily and deducted from deposit amount. The worst experience ever in germany. I have used so many services here this one is the worst to say the least please read and ask in written all things before booking and be careful of deposit amount you give.

Dear Debasis,
We regret that you rate our service so poorly. We have been in contact with you quite a lot after you moved out of the furnished apartment you rented through our service. We are sorry that you have different expectations of how this should go, but we must reject any claims of “hidden clauses” or money not returned based on “mood.”
In the case of this rental, the damages in question are related to mold. If you refer back to your lease agreement, we provide information about how to care for German-built apartments so that mold does not develop. Unfortunately, the lessor of the apartment you rented informed us that there was indeed mold in the flat when you left. He provided many pictures to document this. It is within his rights to hold the deposit as he treats the mold. This a normal procedure. We refer you again to the e-mail we sent you at the end of September with the attachment “Information about security deposits,” especially the sections “What about damages found after the apartment inspection?” and “What happens if the settlement of claims is unresolved?”
Apartment seekers can expect to pay a security deposit of 1-2.5 month’s rent for furnished flats. In most cases, the deposit is returned within about 4 weeks after move out. Currently there is no fixed deadline set for this under German law, but both City-Wohnen and the lessors we work with and trust know that people need this money for the next stage of their lives. Unfortunately, sometimes there is some damage to the apartment. In this case, the deposit cannot be refunded straight away.
To be clear, we as an agency are not allowed to decide for or against either party in case of disputes. We can support both parties by informing them of their rights and responsibilities. For example, the lessors must provide invoices and receipts for any deductions they wish to make, and they still have a responsibility to take care of repairs in a reasonable time frame. We hope that you understand.
You recommend that other apartment seekers be careful and ask - yes sure! We are happy to answer any questions to avoid misunderstandings!
Regards, Anja from City-Wohnen

Full service, in the most professional manner

Relocations could be quite stressful. But thanks to the excellent support & assistance from City-Wohnen it went much better than I anticipated.

Their mediation approach is very systematic (well organized), timely and customer-driven. You can tell that this company is ran by very competent and passionate people.
