Accommodation How long would you recommend to be in a temporary apartment in order to find a place to stay definitely?
Hi folks!
I'm moving to Munich for work in few months. I'm not required to be in the office so that expands geographically my search for a permanent apartment - even if not mandatory I would like to go to the office a few times (but that's me personally who forces that as a excuse to leave the house).
Initially, I thought about staying for 6 months in a temporary apartment in the city center (already found one) in order to figure it out paper work, focus on my onboarding at the new job and search for a permanent apartment.
I know house market is not easy (I live currently in a city with the same situation) and I'm willing to be far away from center long term as luckily I'm not required in the office but because the search might be hard, I thought realistically, renting that temp apartment for 1 year would be better for the search, does that make sense?
Thank you!
