Who this residence suits — and who should look elsewhere
Suits: Students who value social atmosphere, modern facilities, and included bills
Several reviews highlight a positive community and helpful staff. Resident Ahmad Khasawneh wrote: “The staff at this accommodation is incredibly friendly and helpful. They organize enjoyable social events that provide an opportunity to meet other residents. The location of the accommodation is also excellent, and the facilities are fully equipped. Overall, it is a great place to stay.” If you want a built‑in social network — especially in a large city like Berlin — this property appears to foster that.
The rooms are described as new and comfortable. Kristina Shoshi, who lived there through her university years, said: “I’ve been living here throughout my uni years and I have to say that this place has been a great home. The spaces are new and really comfortable, when compared to other options in Berlin it’s a nice opportunity.” Bills included (electricity, water, heating, internet) simplifies budgeting.
The location (12347 Berlin) is in the Neukölln district, reasonably close to several Berlin universities. Public transport is accessible, though specifics depend on your campus.
Doesn’t suit: Anyone sensitive to elevator outages or with mobility constraints
One review raises a serious concern. Rosalyn “Rosa” Mcgee gave a 1‑star rating and wrote: “Both elevators have been broken for almost a full week (one was broken way before) and there is almost always one broken elevator. living on the 7th floor, i cannot carry water, groceries, laundry and more up. especially when coming home after a long day at the university, you expect me to be able to walk up 7 floors a” (the review cuts off). If you are on a high floor, have mobility issues, or frequently carry heavy items, this could be a deal‑breaker. The review dates to a single point in time, but it suggests maintenance responsiveness may be inconsistent.
Additionally, the property is currently listed with a “not_available” tag. As of 2026, you should verify availability directly.

The sample is small — only three reviews — but the contrast is notable. The majority of 159 Google reviews are positive (4.7 average), so the elevator issue may not be chronic for all residents. Still, it is a concrete risk worth checking with the operator.
Price positioning vs the city’s from‑price
Berlin’s student housing market includes many options. The lowest monthly price across all properties on the platform is €440 (indicative, confirm with the operator). RM Lauterberger Straße 45 sits at €690–€730, which is 57%–66% above that floor price.
However, the city’s from‑price of €440 typically applies to basic shared rooms or smaller residences with fewer amenities. Properties that include all bills, have modern furnishings, and offer social programming tend to cost €600–€800. In that context, RM Lauterberger Straße 45 is in the mid‑to‑upper segment of the “inclusive” category.
For comparison, among 97 student properties listed in Berlin, many are in the €500–€700 range. This residence’s price is above average but not at the very top. The only way to know current pricing is to confirm with the operator at the time of booking.
Room‑type guidance
Three room types are offered:
- Non‑ensuite: These rooms share bathroom and kitchen facilities. Cheaper within the property’s range. Suitable if you are comfortable with communal living and want lower rent.
- 3‑bedroom apartment (3b): A shared apartment with three private bedrooms and shared common areas. More privacy than a non‑ensuite, but still requires co‑living.
- Full apartment: Self‑contained unit with private kitchen and bathroom. Highest rent (toward the €730 end). Ideal for students who value complete privacy.
If you are on a tight budget, aim for the non‑ensuite. If you prefer solitude, budget for the full apartment. The operator can confirm exactly which units are available for 2026 or 2027.
Booking timing
The minimum lease is three months — flexible for exchange semesters or summer internships. However, Berlin student housing fills quickly, especially from April to October. Because the property currently appears as “not_available,” you should contact the operator as early as possible for 2026 or 2027 intakes. Booking six to eight months in advance is prudent for September/October starts.
