    An accommodation centre for foreign academics at both Freie Universität and Humboldt Universität in Berlin. There is a central office that organizes events for the tenants and who helps tenants to settle in. There is also a Kindergarten. Shopping and the closest U-Bahn is available just around the corner at the Rüdesheimer Platz (photo).

    It's the perfect option for staying in Berlin during a short-term or a long-term research visit, for couples, families or if you go alone. Everything is well equipped and prepared in advance, so you really do not have to worry about Wifi or furniture. The building has common places such as a library, a gym, a billiard and a garden that make the place more special. Also there are scientific and cultural events, and there is an excellent environment with all the guests of the other apartments. The staff from IBZ (Florian, Modi, Gajana) is also incredible and is always available to help with everything. The location is also an advantage. The neighborhood is very quiet and it has very good transport connections, in 20/25 minutes you can be at Potsdamer Platz by U-Bahn. It's a 10 minutes walk to Schlosstrasse. We had an excellent experience and we hope to return to IBZ when we come back again to Berlin. Alejandro and Nacha

    Nice musical event, friendly and committed support from the mayor. Very nicely done!

    the aparments are well organized and clean. Great prices given the difficult housing situation in Berlin. I am surprised about the no-pets policy, which is very discriminating. They say it is about the problem of allergies, but this could be easily solved with special cleaning.

    The events on Thursday evenings are very varied and interesting!

    (Translated by Google) After several attempts to reach jmd by telephone to clarify a few questions about registration, a very annoyed and unfriendly employee was on the phone. This was not willing to help me and tried to get rid of me because he now "has no time for something" ... Call back or a later appointment would also not be possible. Great external impact if you are treated like this before registering .... I prefer to put my child in competent hands. (Original) Nach mehreren Versuchen telefonisch jmd zu erreichen um ein paar Fragen zur Anmeldung zu klären, war ein sehr genervter und unfreundlicher Mitarbeiter am Telefon. Dieser war nicht gewillt mir weiterzuhelfen und versuchte mich abzuwimmeln da er jetzt „keine Zeit für sowas“ habe... Rückruf oder späterer Termin wäre auch nicht möglich. Tolle Aussenwirkung, wenn man schon vor der Anmeldung so behandelt wird.... Da gebe ich mein Kind lieber in kompetente Hände.

  • 2/5 Parnassus I. 5 years ago on Google
    Terrible mistake coming here. Place is overrun by extremely rude guests; most with family in tow, many with 2+ toddlers. Toddlers are often let loose in the shared inner courtyard and completely ignored by their parents. Noise is overwhelming. Admin staff appear to be apathetic: they're probably aware of the above, however nothing seems to be done to ameliorate the situation. Few opportunities to socialise unless via children-centered and family-oriented activities. A few seemingly interesting events do exist, however these seem to mostly cater to external, German-speaking audiences from the neighbourhood or to selected dominant communities within the IBZ (mostly US americans and East Asian guests). Sadly, I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a place to socialise, network and relax whilst carrying out serious research in Berlin.

  • 5/5 Mitja R. 2 years ago on Google • 17 reviews
    This is a great place to stay for a few months or couple of years if you are an academic guest with or without family at one of the Berlin universities or institutes. The quarter is beautiful and the flats are very adequate and furnished. You will also make good friends in the courtyard our daughter has spend the whole summer outside getting dirty and playing with other kids.

    A wonderful community of fellow visiting scholars and their families, we felt instantly at home during our sabbatical year. Responsive, friendly and professional staff. Excellent value for money.

    Quite satisfying living experience with IBZ. Anne and Gajana are very kind and quick to help to solve the problem. It would make your stay in Berlin easier and get to know the local neighborhood better. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Yehoyada A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A residential project for academics outside Berlin (German and international) who are temporarily in Berlin under the auspices of a local university. A very pleasant place, incredibly cheap and very comfortable. There is usually a very long waiting list and it is advisable to contact about a year in advance. (Original) פרויקט מגורים לאקדמאים מחוץ לברלין (גרמנים ובינלאומיים) הנמצאים זמנית בברלין בחסות אוניברסיטה מקומית. מקום נעים מאוד, זול להפליא ונוח מאוד. יש לרוב רשימת המתנה ארוכה מאוד ורצוי לפנות כשנה מראש.

    In such a great neighborhood, IBZ is a great place to live in Berlin. They provide equipped apartments that are perfect for families. I would like to thank everyone at the IBZ office for being so supportive and kind to me. Being there was a great experience for me.

  • 5/5 (기초교양학부 ). 5 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    It is the perfect place for international scholars doing research in Berlin. The rent is much cheaper than other places in Berlin and the house and the garden are very clean, well maintained. Especially Anne and Gazana(who are the managers) are superb. quickly respond to the residents' various requests and questions with kindness. And they also provide high quality cultural events. I love this place and want to come back later.

😠 We rented a place in Lauf an der Pegnitz that was supposed to be great for kids, but it turned out to be a bit of a hassle. They deducted 385 Euros (about $415) from our deposit to fix a half-finished pond. It was just a liner with some rocks (see pic), no plants or fish. Our kids accidentally made...

👍👍 I loved staying at Karlito. I spent about 4 weeks in my apartment there and fell in love with Berlin, in part, because of it. It's in a great part of the city with excellent walking access to so much. Grocery stores, bars, cafes (right downstairs), historical sights and so much of the city life can...
