Flat-sharing

Lots of students in Germany live in shared apartments, and Munich is no exception. Each occupant has his/her own room in the flat, but the bathroom and kitchen are shared with the other occupants. This also applies to rooms that are sublet as well as to separate single rooms in some cases. Normally, no commission is payable on shared accommodation, and this represents the most economical way to live in Munich.

Newspaper advertisements

The local press also features a large selection of advertisements for accommodation on the days given below.
