Neighborhood
St. Gallen is a charming city in eastern Switzerland, perfectly balancing history, culture, and nature. Nestled between Lake Constance and the Appenzell Alps, it offers a unique mix of urban life and outdoor escapes. The city's highlight is the stunning Abbey Library, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with centuries-old manuscripts and breathtaking Baroque architecture. Wandering through the Old Town, you’ll find beautifully preserved historic buildings with colorful bay windows, which give the city its distinctive character. For those who love nature, Drei Weieren is the perfect spot to relax, swim in the summer, or ice skate in the winter, all while enjoying panoramic views of St. Gallen. Food lovers will appreciate the city's vibrant café scene and its famous St. Gallen bratwurst—best enjoyed without mustard, as the locals insist! If you’re up for an adventure, a short trip to Appenzell will immerse you in traditional Swiss culture, stunning landscapes, and some of the best hiking trails in the country. Whether you're here for a short stay or planning to settle in, St. Gallen offers a welcoming atmosphere, rich history, and plenty of opportunities to explore and connect.

Frequently asked questions
Are pets allowed?
In the coliving and community areas, pets are not allowed. In separate apartment units, requests can be submitted and may be approved depending on availability and the type of pet.
Can I split the rent with my partner or a friend?
Yes, you can split the rent if you choose to rent an entire apartment with your partner or friend! However, please note that our coliving rooms are designed for one person each. We hope you find the perfect space to share together!
Is there a designated space for work?
Yes, our coliving members benefit from the fact that we also offer coworking options in the same building. Tenants receive 10 free accesses per month to our open coworking space and can use all facilities.
What types of people will I be sharing the home with?
In our coliving space, everyone is welcome. Around 80% of our tenants are working professionals, but we also occasionally have students. They work in various industries such as marketing, medicine, management, and sales, and are typically between 20 and 50 years old.
What criteria do you use to evaluate potential renters?
We look for individuals who have a warm and open personality, are friendly, and are interested in creating a peaceful co-living environment. Additionally, we ask that potential renters are willing to take out household insurance to ensure everyone's comfort and safety.
Is it possible to arrive before the designated move-in time or stay past the move-out time?
You're welcome to stay with us for as long as your rental period allows. If you need a little extra time for moving in or out, just let us know—we’re happy to coordinate so you can bring your belongings earlier.
Do I need to sign a contract/lease?
Yes, we do have a simple rental agreement that both parties review and sign before moving in. This agreement helps ensure a smooth stay and also serves as proof of residence if needed. We're here to make the process easy for you!
Is it permissible to have visitors during the day/night?
Guests are always warmly welcome! This is your home, so of course, you’ll want to invite friends and acquaintances. Please keep in mind that a harmonious living environment is important in the coliving areas, so kindly inform your housemates in advance when you have visitors. If a guest stays for an extended period, such as longer than a weekend, please let us know briefly—we like to keep track of who is entering our coliving spaces.
What is the policy on alcohol?
We welcome adults in our community, and while we don't have strict rules about alcohol, we encourage responsible consumption. Enjoy your time and connect with others in a friendly atmosphere!
Are all rooms furnished?
Yes, all rooms are fully furnished. Towels, bed linen, and all kitchenware are included. Just bring your personal belongings and feel right at home!
What potential costs are there besides the rent?
We don’t want any extra costs aside from the rent, which is why our rental prices already include all additional costs such as heating, water, and internet. If you’d like to rent additional services, such as an office or the event venue for your birthday party, there will be an extra charge.
Are the private bedrooms cleaned frequently?
We prioritize your privacy, so while we clean the shared spaces like the kitchen and living room regularly, the bedrooms are left for you to maintain as you like. This way, you can enjoy your personal space just the way you want it!
