I was relocating from London to Cologne and needed a short-term housing solution. Airbnb was too expensive for 2-3 months, and Immobilienscout required a German credit score, which I lacked. Thankfully, I discovered Homelike. My Homelike apartment had a great view and was affordable, fully furnished, with internet and no bills. Plus, no need for a Schufa. I later realized I could register my address there, simplifying things. While email response time could be improved, I wholeheartedly recommend Homelike to fellow expats. If I move again, I'll choose Homelike.
