A home for now
Temporary housing in Munich: move straight into a furnished flat in Lehel
Temporary housing in Munich means renting a fully furnished flat or apartment for anything from a few weeks to several months – with a kitchen, bed linen and internet, but without your own furniture, a long tenancy agreement or the hassle of moving house.
Munich’s housing market is one of the tightest in Germany. Anyone coming to the city for a project, a semester or the period until they find a permanent home therefore looks specifically for temporary accommodation in Munich. Our boarding house on Ländstraße 6 offers 54 apartments between Isartor and the Isar: move in with just a suitcase, cook in your own kitchen and do your laundry in the building. If you are only staying a few nights, you will find the same apartments listed as holiday apartments in Munich, with full details on sizes and facilities.

Short-term rental in Munich: who it is right for
A short-term rental in Munich is the answer for anyone staying longer than a weekend but not permanently. Typical guests include consultants and engineers on project assignments, professionals in their probationary period, relocation guests flat-hunting, families during renovation work and contractor teams who want more comfort and a central location than classic workers accommodation in Munich.
When living in Munich temporarily, one thing matters above all in daily life: the flat has to work from day one. A desk, fast Wi-Fi, a kitchen, bed linen and towels are all provided, and there are washing machines and tumble dryers in the building. Unpack your suitcase and you are ready to work the next morning.


Hotel, guesthouse or apartment?
A furnished flat instead of a hotel or guesthouse
Many guests start by searching for a long-stay hotel in Munich or a guesthouse for a longer stay in Munich. A hotel room is practical for a few nights – but after two weeks you miss a kitchen, storage space and room to work. A furnished apartment in Munich offers all of that and usually becomes cheaper per night the longer you stay.
Like serviced apartments in Munich, our building combines both: your own flat with kitchen and living area, plus consistent standards, a 24-hour safe check-in and a dedicated contact person, just like a hotel. If you only need a short stay to begin with, we also offer flexible accommodation in Munich for individual nights.
Our location
Temporary housing in Munich city centre: our location in Lehel
Ländstraße 6, 80538 München
If you are looking for a city apartment in Munich for a temporary stay, Lehel is the ideal place: on the left bank of the Isar between the old town and the English Garden, with supermarkets, bakeries and cafés within walking distance. Marienplatz, the Viktualienmarkt and Maximilianstraße are all reachable on foot – and yet Lehel is one of the quietest neighbourhoods in the city centre.
U-Bahn (underground): U4, U5 (Lehel) – a few minutes’ walk
S-Bahn (suburban rail): all lines on the main city-centre route, the Stammstrecke (Isartor) – a few minutes’ walk
Prices & terms
Affordable temporary housing in Munich: what really matters on price
If you want affordable temporary housing in Munich, do not just compare the monthly rent. What counts is what is included: electricity, heating, internet, bed linen, towels and final cleaning are charged extra with many offers. A cheap short-term rental in Munich is only really cheap if the final price adds up.
With us, you rent directly from the operator – so your furnished temporary housing in Munich comes without commission and with no estate agent’s fee. The rate depends on apartment size, season and length of stay: the longer you stay, the cheaper each day becomes. With your own kitchen, you also save compared with restaurants and hotel breakfasts.


Length of stay
Monthly rental in Munich: 1 month, 3 months or longer
You decide how long you stay. The most popular options are a one-month rental in Munich – for an internship or the first weeks in a new job, for example – and a three-month rental in Munich, typical for projects, semesters and probationary periods. We agree the exact length of stay with you individually, and extensions are possible subject to availability.
A long-term rental in Munich over several months is also easy to plan in our boarding house: you have a dedicated contact person, know from the outset what your stay will cost, and do not have to worry about furniture or electricity and internet contracts.
The services are the same whatever the length of stay. A short-term rental in Munich for a few weeks works exactly like a long stay in Munich for six months. Only the price per day goes down the longer you stay.
Studies, internships, first jobs
Temporary housing in Munich for students and interns
Anyone coming to Munich for the start of term, a semester abroad or an internship rarely finds a WG room (flatshare room) straight away. Temporary housing in Munich for students bridges this gap: you move into a ready-furnished apartment and continue your search on the spot without pressure.
The 25 m² Business Apartment works like a studio flat for a temporary stay in Munich: bed, desk, kitchen and Wi-Fi in a compact space. LMU and TU Munich are quickly reached by U-Bahn from Lehel – you will find the journey times in the table further down.


More than four walls
Furnished apartment in Munich with outdoor sauna and laundry room
A furnished apartment in Munich is easy to find – one you still feel at home in after several weeks, less so. That is why our building offers more than just the apartment: an outdoor sauna for up to six people, washing machines and tumble dryers, and luggage lockers for your arrival and departure days.
On longer stays in particular, this makes all the difference: unwind in the sauna after a long day on your project, do your laundry in the building at the weekend and welcome visitors in your own living area – that is how an apartment becomes a real home for the time being.
Checklist
How do I find temporary accommodation in Munich?
The market for temporary stays in Munich can be confusing – these six points will help you compare offers quickly and safely:
- Check the total rent: Are service charges, electricity, internet, bed linen and final cleaning included?
- Clarify commission and deposit: Is there an agent’s commission, and how high is the deposit?
- Length of stay and extensions: Is there a minimum rental period, and can you extend if needed?
- Anmeldung (address registration): Will you receive a Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (landlord’s confirmation of residence) for the Bürgerbüro (citizens’ office)?
- Location and journeys: How long does it take to get to work, university or the trade fair by U-Bahn and S-Bahn?
- Check the provider: Is there a contact person you can reach if something in the apartment is not working?
For a furnished short-term rental in Munich, it pays to enquire early – supply is especially tight at the start of term, during major trade fairs and around Oktoberfest.

Private or professional?
Sublet in Munich or temporary housing from a provider?
A sublet in Munich (Zwischenmiete) looks good value at first glance: someone is away for a few months and lets out their flat. In practice, however, dates, furnishings and reliability depend on a single person – and the main tenant needs their landlord’s permission to sublet.
With a private short-term rental in Munich, there is often no clear contract and no one to call when the heating breaks down. With a professional provider, you get a written contract, fixed dates, consistent standards and service throughout your stay.


City or surrounding area?
Temporary housing in and around Munich: why the city centre pays off
Anyone searching for temporary housing in and around Munich soon comes across offers in the surrounding countryside or the wider Munich area. The rent there is sometimes lower, but you face long daily commutes by S-Bahn or car – over a stay of several weeks, that quickly adds up to many hours.
In Lehel, you walk to the old town, go for a morning jog in the English Garden and still reach destinations outside the city such as Lake Starnberg or Garching easily via Isartor and the central station. On longer stays in particular, the time you save is often worth more than the difference in price.
All inclusive
Furnished short-term rental in Munich: what is included
Renting furnished temporary housing in Munich with us means you only bring your suitcase. The following is provided in every apartment or available in the building:
- Private kitchen: fully equipped, so you can cook instead of eating out
- Fast Wi-Fi: for working from home, video calls and streaming
- Towels and bed linen: included, with freshly made beds on arrival
- Washing machines and tumble dryers: shared within the building
- Outdoor sauna: open-air sauna cabin for up to 6 people
- 24-hour safe check-in and luggage lockers: arrive around the clock, with your bags stored safely
This makes furnished temporary living in Munich easy to plan: no furniture to buy, no electricity or internet contracts to sign and no flat to clear out at the end.
Everyday journeys
Temporary housing in Munich: getting to work, university and the trade fair
If you live in Munich for several weeks, you make the same journeys every day. Ländstraße 6 lies between Isartor and the Isar – you can reach most destinations on foot or with just one S-Bahn or U-Bahn line. You will not need a car in Lehel.
| Destination | Connection | Time (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximilianstraße | on foot | 5 min |
| Viktualienmarkt | on foot | 10 min |
| Marienplatz | on foot through the Isartor | 15 min |
| Central station (Hauptbahnhof) | S-Bahn from Isartor | 15 min |
| LMU main building | U4/U5 to Odeonsplatz, then U3/U6 to Universität | 15 min |
| TU Munich main campus | U4/U5 to Hauptbahnhof, then U2 to Königsplatz | 25 min |

| Messe München (Riem) | S-Bahn and U-Bahn | 35 min |
| Munich Airport | S8 direct to Isartor | 50 min |
Our tip: For stays of a month or more, an MVV monthly pass or the Deutschlandticket (Germany-wide public transport pass) is usually better value than single tickets.
From our experience
Planning temporary housing in Munich: tips from our experience as hosts
As hosts of holiday flats and apartments, we see what makes a longer stay in Munich a success – and where guests lose time or money unnecessarily:
- Sort out your Anmeldung early: If you move into a flat in Munich and have no other home in Germany, you must register your address at the Bürgerbüro (citizens’ office) within two weeks. For stays of up to three months with a registered address elsewhere in Germany, the registration requirement usually does not apply. Appointments at the Bürgerbüro are scarce – book early.
- Keep an eye on term dates and trade fairs: Demand for temporary housing is high around the start of term, the Wiesn (Oktoberfest) and major trade fairs. If you are flexible, you will find an apartment more easily outside these periods.
- Plan ahead for Sundays: Supermarkets in Munich are closed on Sundays. On Sundays, you will mainly find open shops at the central station.
- Pack light: With washing machines and tumble dryers in the building, clothes for one to two weeks are enough – even for a stay of several months.
- Leave the car at home: Parking spaces in Lehel are scarce and mostly reserved for residents. Public transport is almost always quicker in the city centre.
- The Isar to unwind: Our favourite moment in Lehel is an evening stroll along the Isar after a long working day – peaceful, green and just two minutes from the building.
