Expert in a housing segment between hotels and long-term rentals
Temporary housing is the practical in-between solution for many people: more affordable than a hotel, more flexible than a traditional rental contract, and often bookable online right away. For longer stays, work assignments, relocation, or the period until a permanent home is found, furnished apartments and temporary rentals have become an essential part of today’s housing market.
This is exactly where Claudia Urban positions herself: not in vacation rentals, but as an expert for temporary housing, furnished living solutions, business apartments, relocation, and the German rental market.

Why temporary housing matters today
Today’s housing market does not only need traditional rental apartments. It also needs flexible solutions for people who cannot or do not want to commit immediately to a long-term lease or property purchase. Many people move because of a new job, a project, studies, a relationship change, a renovation, or an international transfer.
This is exactly where temporary housing becomes important: as a bridge between arrival and permanent housing. A furnished apartment for temporary living is often the first housing solution people use before finding a long-term home. It is usually faster, more practical, and easier to book than the standard housing market.
Claudia Urban has observed the growth of this segment for many years – from a niche topic to a visible and relevant part of modern mobility, international work patterns, and flexible living models.
