Our flats at the location "Im Sauerbrod"

For the first weeks of your stay, we sublet several furnished flats in a 2 story building, reachable in 10 minutes by bus. Despite that, they are near the city center but in a quite, suburban area. Two bigger supermarkets are just around the corner (opening hours: 7 a.m. - 8 p.m. from Mon. - Sat.).

The tenancy period should not exceed a couple of weeks which is long enough to find sth. permanent (please contact Roxane/Ruth).
In the flats we provide a basic supply of pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, bed clothing (including fitted sheets, sheets and blanket). In case you need more there is a big department store "tedox" in walking distance (just follow the main road "Dudweilerlandstrasse" in the direction of the city center and turn right opposite the gas station).

Heating/airing of the flat (Essential information! Please read!)

Due to the construction features of the house with everything made of concrete, the walls are so insulating that they do not let air circulate between in- and outside. This may lead to an increase of condensation inside, especially at the window and outside walls. We therefore ask you to adhere to the following rules during the heating period (October - April). In case of neglect, the walls will get covered with mildew and we will be held responsible for damages caused.

  • Try to heat the rooms constantly by keeping the heaters switched the position``3''. Rooms should neither be left too cool nor should they be overheated, a temperature of about 18 to 20 degrees is regarded as sufficient.
  • Do air the flat up to 3 times a day by opening all windows widely for about 5 min. Keeping the windows open for a longer time or in a tilt position causes more harm and has the opposite effect since, due to the discrepancy in temperature between in- and outside, water condenses on the inner side of the wall.
  • Additional airing is necessary after cooking, showering or when several people are in the room.
  • After showering, please leave the bathroom light switched on for some minutes since it is linked to a ventilation system. Also, the bathroom door should be kept shut to avoid moisture spreading in the whole flat. Please wipe the tiles in the shower try so that mildew can not grow in the mortar gap between them.
  • Furniture should not be placed on an outer wall.
  • The couch should have some centimeters distance to the wall.
