Looking at a home tomorrow and one of the features is this: “2 abschliessbare Zimmer”. Anyone know what that means? By pure translation, it means I can lock two rooms - but don’t all doors have locks and why would it be a special feature?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Is this a WG (shared apartment)?
True, sounds a bit funny. If it's this flat where they write <> they seem to say, that 1-3 people could rent the flat (flat-sharing), two of them would have lockable rooms (=normal rooms) one would maybe live in what a family would use as a dining-corner.
That's my imagination playing.
Edit: Actually if it is the ad I'm looking at, there seems to be a "Durchgangszimmer" - a room through which you reach an other room. So if someone lived in that one, of course they could not lock it or the one behind would no longer be accessable.
Heheh I hope not at 3200 CHF a month! I guess this feature is good if my husband and I have a fight?
P.S. The ad does not feature anything about it being shared...
Is the overall apartment 3.5 rooms?
My suspicion would be that this refers to 2 bedrooms which can be locked as opposed to a large open living/kitchen area (equalling 1.5 rooms) which can't be locked or separated specifically.
But a curious wording indeed.
4.5 rooms which makes only 2 lockable rooms seem odd...
I’ll let you guys know tomorrow after I see it.
Multi story apartment aka Maisonette
Top floor is one room reachable by a staircase. As it has no door it is not lockable.
That sounds nice No stairs in the photos...thanks a lot!
Did you ask for a floor plan ? Not always available but it helps to have one in advance.
Had a look today at the apartment... so, even though they are clearly defined rooms, the living, kitchen and dining rooms sort of flow into each other without doors to close them off. Only the bedroom and guest room have doors.
Still a strange feature to include in the listing, but now other EFers will know if they see such a listing in the future.
I do hope the loo(s) have doors too?
Hahah yes
Very convenient for a family flat but definitely not for sharing if it was advertised as such.
