PREMIUM TEMPORARY HOME IN CARMELITE MONASTERY: DESIGNER FURNITURE, CLEANING SERVICE, EV CHARGER, ACCESSIBLE
"This apartment isn't for everyone. But if you need to be flexible, appreciate quality, and have no time for compromises – then it's perfect for you."
FOR THOSE WHO SEEK QUALITY, NOT COMPROMISES
New city. New job. New chapter. You don't need just any apartment – you need a genuine premium home where you can start living from day one – with designer furniture instead of IKEA, with professional cleaning every 14 days instead of weekend chores, with everything you need already in place.
You want to arrive and simply live. That's exactly what this apartment is for.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You're coming to Bamberg for 6 to 18 months:
As an international professional for a project at Bosch, Brose, or another company
As a consultant, interim manager, or professional on assignment
As an academic or visiting professor at the University of Bamberg
In a transitional situation (divorce, house construction, career change)
Or you simply want to stay flexible without long-term commitments
You don't want to live in an anonymous hotel. But you have neither the time nor the desire to furnish an empty apartment only to dissolve everything again in a year.
You want to arrive, turn the key – and live.
WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST-OCCUPANCY HOME IN THE CARMELITE MONASTERY
Imagine: You open the door to a 61 m2 apartment that has just been completed after extensive renovation. Not a worn-out temporary solution, but a stylish, fully equipped home where no one has lived before you.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU IN PRACTICE:
Your first evening:
You put down your suitcase, log into the WiFi (200 Mbit fiber optic, LAN in all rooms), and cook something in the brand-new designer kitchen. No assembly, no delivery dates, no compromises. Everything is there, everything works.
Your daily life:
Morning coffee in the fully equipped kitchen, evening relaxation in the light-filled living room or on your private patio in the monastery garden. Underfloor heating ensures a cozy atmosphere, the washing machine is ready, and if you need to work in the evening, you have stable internet and a TV for unwinding afterward. Cleaning service every 14 days – you don't have to worry about anything.
Your weekend:
A 10-minute walk takes you to Bamberg's UNESCO World Heritage Old Town – one of Germany's most beautiful cities. Bars, restaurants, culture, history. Your car is parked in your own outdoor space with an EV charging station (yes, really!).

YOUR NEIGHBORS: HISTORY AND TRANQUILITY
The Carmelite Monastery is located in a quiet residential area, yet only 10 minutes on foot from Bamberg's Old Town. You won't hear trams or traffic noise – just occasionally the bells of surrounding churches. And yet you're in the midst of life: restaurants, bars, the weekly market, the E.T.A. Hoffmann Theater – all within walking distance.
AVAILABLE FROM NOVEMBER 1, 2025
First occupancy after renovation – you're the first person to live here.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on HousingAnywhere must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without HousingAnywhere is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on HousingAnywhere, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on HousingAnywhere.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on HousingAnywhere from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on HousingAnywhere at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On HousingAnywhere, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact HousingAnywhere customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
