Trust and Safety at Urbanbnb

When booking a furnished apartment for several weeks or months, people want to feel safe. That is exactly what Urbanbnb stands for. Since 1996, we have been offering furnished rentals with personal support, verified hosts and a clear focus on stays from 1 to 12 months.

We are not an anonymous platform, not a holiday rental website and not a traditional long-term rental provider. We are a family-run specialist in temporary furnished living.

Family business with experience, personal responsibility and direct accessibility.

Verified Hosts

No open mass listings, but verified offers with a reliable and transparent basis.

1 to 12 Months

A clear focus on furnished stays rather than tourist short-term bookings.

Safe temporary living with real support

Why Guests Trust Urbanbnb

Many of our guests book a temporary home without being able to visit in person first. That naturally raises questions. Is the offer reliable? Is the apartment really as described? Who can help if something needs to be clarified?

This is where Urbanbnb stands apart from many anonymous platforms. We have worked in temporary furnished living for decades, we are directly reachable as a family business, and we focus on transparent and reliable booking processes.

Verified apartments and hosts instead of anonymous listings
Personal support instead of call centers or chatbots

Transparent processes before and after booking
Long-standing experience with corporate clients, expats, commuters and transition stays

The Urban Family – Personally Available

Urbanbnb is not a corporation. It is a family business. Many guests notice that difference from the very first conversation. We know this market inside out and understand what matters during longer stays.

“For a longer stay, it was important for us to have a real person we could speak to.”

“The trial month made the decision much easier for us.”

What Makes Urbanbnb Safer Than Anonymous Platforms

No Fake Listings

At Urbanbnb, not just anyone can publish an anonymous listing. We rely on verified offers and trustworthy cooperation with hosts.

Personally Verified

We review apartments and hosts in advance. This reduces risk and creates a far more reliable booking basis for guests.

Direct Contact

You speak with real people. Especially during stays of several months, that makes a real difference.

Direct Payment to the Host

Payment is made directly to the host, not to an anonymous portal. This creates a clear and transparent payment process.

Clear Specialization

Urbanbnb specializes in furnished temporary living, not in holiday travel, tourist stays or traditional long-term rentals.

Experience Since 1996

Our experience helps us identify suitable solutions, reduce uncertainty and support guests with transparent processes.

How Booking Works at Urbanbnb

1. Find the Right Apartment

Search by city, time period and needs to see which apartments or rooms are available.

2. Book Directly

Book the accommodation online for your required period and receive the next steps afterward.

3. Contact the Host

After booking, you receive the host’s contact details and arrange arrival, key handover and payment directly.

4. Move In and Extend if Needed

For longer stays, flexibility and reliability matter. If everything works well, you can extend.

More Security with a Trial Month

Anyone booking a furnished apartment for several months may not want to commit too quickly. That is why the trial month can be a very helpful solution.

You start by booking one month, get to know the apartment, the location and everyday life on site, and then decide calmly whether to extend. This reduces uncertainty and lowers the barrier for longer stays.

Why We Are Not a Holiday Rental Platform

Urbanbnb is deliberately different. We do not focus on tourist short stays or classic holiday rentals. Our focus is furnished temporary living for 1 to 12 months.

This is especially relevant for corporate clients, project staff, expats, commuters, technicians and people in transition phases such as relocation, renovation or personal change. If you need a reliable temporary housing solution, you need something different from a travel portal.

Who Urbanbnb Is Especially Suitable For

Corporate Clients

For employees on assignment, project teams and external specialists.

Expats

For professional or personal transitions with a reliable housing solution.

Commuters

For people who need flexible accommodation during the working week.

Project Staff

For temporary assignments, rollouts, relocations and fixed-term projects.

Technicians

For practical temporary housing from one month onward instead of complicated individual searches.

Transition Situations

For example during relocation, renovation, separation or building a home.
