Overview and Location
66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse is a purpose-built student housing property in Berlin, Germany. The address is listed simply as 13 Berlin, so the exact street number is not specified, but the latitude and longitude place it in the north‑eastern part of the city, near the border between the districts of Pankow and Mitte. The nearest major S‑Bahn station is likely Pankow or Bornholmer Straße, providing direct connections to the city centre and universities. The property offers a mix of studio and ensuite units (private bedrooms with shared living/kitchen space), and all leases require a minimum stay of six months.
The residence is managed by 66 Monkeys, a provider that operates several locations in Berlin. At the time of writing, Berlin has around 97 student housing properties listed on the platform, with a city‑wide starting price of €440 per month for the cheapest room type. 66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse starts at €650 per month for the most affordable unit and goes up to €1,300 per month for higher‑end studios or en suite rooms.
Who This Residence Suits
66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse is a good fit for students who value a managed, all‑inclusive living experience with responsive on‑site management and modern amenities. The property includes a laundry facility, a dedicated study area, and bills are covered in the rent (gas, electricity, water, internet – confirm exact inclusions with the operator). This makes budgeting straightforward and eliminates the hassle of setting up separate utility accounts.
The minimum lease of six months suits students who need medium‑term accommodation, such as those starting a semester or an internship in Berlin. The property also appears to be well‑regarded by long‑term residents – one Google review mentions staying for almost three years, which suggests that the management and maintenance standards remain consistent over time.
The location, while not in the very centre, is connected by public transport and offers a quieter residential environment. If your classes are at universities in the northern or eastern parts of Berlin, or if you prefer a neighbourhood that feels less touristy than Mitte or Kreuzberg, this could be a practical choice.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
This property is less suitable for students on a tight budget. Berlin’s cheapest student room option on the platform is €440 per month (for a shared apartment or a basic room), while 66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse starts at €650 per month – roughly 48% above the city floor price. If you are prioritising the lowest possible rent, you will find cheaper alternatives, though they may not include bills or managed services.
It may also not suit students who want very short stays. The minimum lease of six months means you cannot rent for just a month or two. Additionally, the property does not list a specific available‑from date in the data; availability may vary throughout the year, so you should check with the operator directly.
If you prefer a traditional shared flat with more personal freedom (e.g. choosing your own furniture, having guests without restrictions), a managed residence may feel too structured. The reviews praise the management, but some students prefer a more independent living setup.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available for this property (overall rating: 4.0 out of 5 based on 89 reviews). Here are the verbatim excerpts:
Darshan Gala (rating 5): “I lived at 66 Monkeys for almost 3 years and had a positive experience throughout my stay! The management team was always friendly, responsive, and helpful whenever I had questions or needed support. Any maintenance issues were addressed promptly, and communication was always professional. Both the move-in and move-out”
Numa Alsamarrai (rating 5): “I stayed at 66 Monkeys Pankow for a year and a half, and it was the most pleasant experience I’ve had since moving to Berlin. The accommodation is modern, well‑maintained, and truly feels like home. Communication with the rental team, especially the property manager, Hayden who made the experience even better. With his”
Jumana Albarazi (rating 5): “Great storage units with fair pricing. I rented a small and a large unit for two years. The rental and cancellation processes were easy, and Hayden the property manager, was always friendly and helpful.”
Note: The first two reviews appear to be cut off in the data source. Darshan’s review likely continues to describe the move‑out process. Numa’s review mentions “Pankow”, which may refer to a different building within the 66 Monkeys portfolio but is listed under the same property ID; the address given is “13 Berlin, Germany” and the coordinates correspond to a location near Pankow.
All three reviewers highlight the professionalism and responsiveness of the management team, especially property manager Hayden. Maintenance issues are dealt with quickly, and the communication is described as friendly. The fact that residents stayed for 1.5 to 3 years suggests strong tenant satisfaction.
One review mentions renting storage units – it is possible that the building also offers separate storage space, but the primary function is student housing.
Price Positioning vs Berlin Market
Berlin’s student housing market is competitive, with a city‑wide “from price” of €440 per month for the cheapest listed room. That price usually applies to a shared flat or a very basic room without bills included. At 66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse, the minimum rent is €650 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This puts the property in the upper‑mid range for Berlin student accommodation.
The maximum price of €1,300 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator) places it near the top end for a studio in a managed residence. However, the property includes bills, a study area, and laundry, which add value. For comparison, a private studio in Berlin might cost €900–€1,200 without utilities; here the all‑inclusive price could be competitive if you use all the amenities.
Deposit is €150 (indicative — confirm with the operator), which is unusually low – most Berlin student rentals require a deposit of 2–3 months’ rent. That is a clear advantage for students who want to limit upfront costs.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers two room types: studio and ensuite.
-
Studio: A self‑contained unit with private kitchen, bathroom, and living/sleeping area. This is ideal if you value complete privacy and want to cook your own meals without sharing facilities. Studios typically cost more than en suite rooms, likely at the higher end of the €650–€1,300 range. If you prefer silence for studying or have an irregular schedule, a studio may be worth the extra cost.
-
Ensuite: A private bedroom with a private bathroom, but you share a kitchen and living area with other flatmates. This is a social option and usually cheaper than a studio. At 66 Monkeys – Muehlenstrasse, the cheapest en suite likely starts around €650 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The shared common areas can help you meet other students, but you have less control over cleanliness and noise.
Neither room type is described in detail beyond the unit type labels. You should ask the operator for floor plans, exact square metres, and whether the ensuite kitchen is fully equipped.
Booking Timing Considerations
The data set does not include a specific “available from” date, so availability fluctuates. Berlin student housing tends to fill up several months before the winter semester (October) and summer semester (April). For a lease starting in 2026 or 2027, it is advisable to start searching at least 4–6 months in advance.
Given the positive reviews and the relatively low deposit, the property may be popular. If you need a studio or an ensuite for a specific semester, contact the operator early and confirm whether you can reserve a room with a holding deposit. The minimum lease of six months means you cannot book for, say, three months, so plan your stay accordingly.
The property’s tags include “bills_included”, which simplifies monthly costs – but always verify which bills are covered (internet speed, heating caps, etc.) before signing.
