I teach on postgraduate screenwriting courses at the DFFB (Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin). I am very familiar with the rhythms of academic life and the practical needs of people relocating temporarily for research, teaching, holiday, sabbatical or creative projects. I personally manage my apartment, providing visiting scholars and professionals with a calm, well-equipped home where they can settle quickly and enjoy the city. I offer a comfortable and respectful living environment that supports productive academic or creative work while enabling tenants to enjoy Berlin’s cultural life at their own pace. Clear communication and straightforward rental process make your stay relaxed :) Like you, I also use SabbaticalHomes as a traveller/tenant, and have enjoyed many positive experiences through it!
