Trust & Safety at Urbanbnb
Furnished temporary housing – without uncertainty
Temporary housing is often not booked for a weekend, but for an important phase: a new job, project start, relocation, probation period, renovation or a transition between two homes. In these situations, accommodation needs to be more than available – it needs to be secure, reliable and suitable for everyday life.
Urbanbnb provides furnished apartments and rooms for 1 to 12 months – with verified hosts, personal contact, direct payment to the host, no service fee and residence registration possible in every accommodation.
Since 1996
Family business with long-standing experience in furnished temporary housing.
Verified hosts
No anonymous mass listings, but reliable offers with a clear basis.
All accommodations support registration
Residence registration is possible in every Urbanbnb property. This sets us apart from many other providers.
No service fee
Guests do not pay an additional Urbanbnb service fee.
The real problem
Temporary housing is about more than a good-looking listing
Many guests are not simply looking for any accommodation. They are facing a concrete situation: a project starts in two weeks. A probation period begins. A move is not completed yet. Renovation takes longer. Or a company needs a reliable solution for employees quickly.
In these moments, real questions come up: Is the offer legitimate? Does the apartment really exist? Is the accommodation suitable for several months? Can I register my residence there? Who can I reach if something needs to be clarified before or after booking?
Urbanbnb is built for exactly this uncertainty: not as an anonymous platform, but as a specialized provider of furnished temporary housing – with clear processes, verified hosts and personal availability.
“I need a furnished apartment quickly for a few months – but I want to be sure everything is reliable.”
That moment matters. Anyone booking for several weeks or months needs more trust than with a short travel booking.
Major difference
Residence registration possible in every Urbanbnb accommodation
For many guests, registration is not a side issue — it is essential. Anyone working in Germany, arriving from abroad, opening a bank account, needing employer documentation or registering with the local authorities needs accommodation where residence registration is possible.
At Urbanbnb, this is possible in every property. Guests receive the landlord confirmation after arrival directly from the host. This makes Urbanbnb especially relevant for relocation, expats, business commuters, project staff, workers and people in transition phases.

Market risks
What often creates uncertainty on other platforms
Unclear listings
The offer looks good, but it remains unclear whether the host, images, equipment and conditions have really been checked.
No registration possible
Many accommodations do not allow residence registration. This often becomes visible too late — and can become a real problem for guests.
Anonymous platform logic
Questions are often handled through support paths, chatbots or unclear responsibilities instead of personal contacts.
Wrong focus
Many platforms are designed for holidays or short stays — not for living, working and everyday life over several months.
Unclear costs
Additional fees, service costs or payment paths can make bookings less transparent.
Too little experience
Temporary housing is a specialized field. It requires experience with guests, hosts, companies and transition situations.
The Urbanbnb answer
Why Urbanbnb is built differently
Verified hosts
Urbanbnb works with verified hosts and reliable offers instead of anonymous mass listings.
100% registration-friendly
Every Urbanbnb accommodation allows residence registration. This is a central difference from many other providers.
Personal contact
Urbanbnb is a family business. Guests speak with real people, not just a platform.
Direct payment to the host
Payment goes directly to the host and not into an anonymous platform pool.
No service fee
Guests do not pay an additional service fee to Urbanbnb. This creates clarity and transparency.
1 to 12 months
Urbanbnb specializes in furnished temporary housing — not holidays, weekend trips or standard long-term rentals.
The Urban family
Family business since 1996 – trust through experience
Urbanbnb is not an anonymous marketplace, but a family-run company. Since 1996, we have supported guests, hosts and companies with furnished temporary housing.
Over the years, many situations repeat themselves: a new job, a temporary project, a move, a separation, renovation, house construction or the start in Germany. This is exactly how our specialization developed.
We know what matters for stays of several weeks or months: clear information, registration-friendly accommodation, reachable contacts, verified hosts and a process that is not unnecessarily complicated.

Secure process
How a booking becomes a reliable housing solution
Find suitable accommodation
You choose a furnished apartment, studio or room for the period you need.
Book directly online
The booking is clear and binding — without an additional service fee for guests.
Contact the host
After booking, you receive the contact details and clarify arrival, key handover and payment directly.
Move in and register
You move in and receive the landlord confirmation from the host after arrival.
Flexible start
Book from 1 month – and extend if needed
Many guests do not want to commit unnecessarily long when planning a longer stay. Starting from one month gives more security, especially when it is not yet clear how long a project, probation period or transition phase will last.
You get to know the accommodation, location and everyday life on site. If it fits and the accommodation is available, an extension can be clarified.
