Souterrain Wohnung for €1200?
After months of searching, I have just been offered an apartment and am having a big dilemma over it. The offer is in Steglitz, next to an U-Bahn station, Altbau, 78sqm, 1200 warm… Hallo in die Runde,
After months of searching, I have just been offered an apartment and am having a big dilemma over it. The offer is in Steglitz, next to an U-Bahn station, Altbau, 78sqm, 1200 warm. It also has access to a private garden in the back yard.
The only concern I have is that it is a Souterrain Wohnung which means that the floor is about a metre below ground level. When I visited the place, it seemed reasonably light, but it might have just been a good time of the day. Overall, I am concerned about the usual problems like humidity, risk of a break-in (as the windows are right at ground level) and the lack of natural light.
Has anyone had experience living in such a place? Would you guys take it? I still have six months to go in my current place, so I am not in a particular rush.
yeah the break-in thing is a legit concern, my friend had a souterrain in neukölln and someone just popped the window open while they were asleep. the garden access is nice but not worth the paranoia imo, especially for 1200 in steglitz which isn't exactly a hotspot
I lived in a Souterrain in Kreuzberg for two years and the mold was a constant battle no matter how much I aired it out.
Honestly, for 1200 warm in Steglitz I'd probably pass. You can find something at or above ground level for that price if you're not in a rush, and the mold issue is real even if the light was okay when you visited.
