WE HOST GUESTS FOR SHORT- AND LONG-TERM STAYS - MINIMUM: 4 NIGHTS
THE RENT FOR ONE MONTH IS 590€ WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING INCLUDED.
We might not reply to inquiries that don't specify the DATES that the room would be needed for.
THIS ROOM WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM July 15TH 2024 ON:
After my two kids moved out, I started renting out their rooms to mostly expats coming for work. While we had the first two girls here, my husband moved in with us. We have had a Mexican, a Polish, and a Canadian girl, a German guy, then a Chinese, a French girl ... and now, we have an Indian programmer in one room for quite a while.
The room we are offering here, was almost totally renovated in 2013 with one more window and has a new bathroom with a slate floor and glass mosaic on the walls. We are looking for people who stay for a limited time and appreciate a nicely furnished room, where they don't need to bring anything.
Recent guests found it very charming and cozy and appreciated our company, sometimes over a spicy Indian meal.
The room has 26 square meters and the bathroom another 4.
The room would be big enough for a couple or two friends. We have another bed in the room now, a single bed. The second (or third) person would have to pay 8€/night extra for water, electricity and bed sheets.
The room is fully equipped. You can come see the room any time, if you wish. Some of the pictures shown here are from December 2018, a few are older. Once we make major changes, we'll take some fresh ones.
We prefer guests who come for work, and have mainly hosted shorter stays. We don't mind having changing guests all the time. When we get along fine with our guests, we are fine with longer stays (over six months) too. Recently, our guests had unlimited contracts. We are flexible there.
I'm living here with my husband, who is from India and speaks Marathi, Hindi and English. We usually communicate in English. We have had plenty of guests staying with us over the last seventeen years. So, we are used to limited privacy. It would make things much easier, if our flat-mate could speak English with our other guests, which is why I'm writing this in English, although I'm a German native speaker.
Our house is very close to all kinds of public transport, metro station U79 and 903, five minutes walk, central train station, fifteen minutes walk. The inner harbor is 300m away.
I have things like a washing machine, a dryer, a dish washer, a micro wave, and wireless LAN at your disposal. There's a garden, a balcony and a very cozy living room and kitchen area (have a look at the pictures), the other people share a bathroom, which guests usually use too.
Major renovations were done in 2000, 2013 and 2022.
The other room is a bit cheaper, since it has no private bathroom. Here's the link to its ad: https://www.wg-gesucht.de/wg-zimmer-in-Duisburg-Duissern.2920366.html
For food shopping, an Aldi and a Netto store are both around 400m away. A 24/7 gas-station is right next to the Netto market. One kiosk is even closer.
The inner harbor, with its restaurants and pubs (also for dancing on weekends), starts at around 200m from the house. The city center and the central train station are at 1.5km distance.
The subway station "Duissern" is about 600m from here. There you'll find the lines 903 and U79 and various buses.
The street leads almost nowhere. Only people, who really want to come here, drive through this part of the street. The house is in the last row of houses. Behind it, there are no more houses. The backside of the house is simply green. You hear some noise from the highway A59 and the cargo trains from Duisport though.
By car, you have to just go around the block, if you want to reach the highways A59, A40 or A3, and you can soon reach the A2, A42 or the A57 from here.
We do cook around five hot meals per week (so, sometimes we just warm up things from the fridge) and we rarely go out for a meal. We usually cook from fresh ingredients, and we appreciate it, when the people living with us join us for the meals, especially on rainy weekends.
As my husband is hindu, we don't eat beef. We do cook a lot of international food and a lot of Indian food too.
Once in a while we host a concert in our living-room. We clean up for them and try to present things nicely. We promote these events rather openly, so that anyone can bring their friends. The traveling musicians come from all over the world and stay for a night or two. We try to have one concert in a month.
I am ready to help, but please, don't expect me to replace your mother (I know what I am talking about).
If you cannot prove that you have a valid liability insurance, I will ask you to pay 250 Euros more for the security deposit.
I consider myself a good cook and invite people over for dinner on a regular base. Also, I hosted some nice acoustic concerts with traveling international musicians in my house lately. It would be nice to share these things with a flat-mate who appreciates this. As a teacher, I spend a lot of my evenings silently working in my room though. So, there's not just party all the time.
I started hosting people overnight in 2006, then started to rent out long-term in 2011, and have been doing this since. What guests appreciated, were three things: the food/cooking, the concerts and the fact, that I have almost everything, for example costumes for carnival that they didn't need to buy.
Ask for special things, like bicycles, tents, suitcases, backpacks or other things you might need during your stay here.
