More Than a New Address
Moving to a new city is the beginning of something bigger.
For international students arriving in Munich, it often means navigating a new language, discovering unfamiliar neighbourhoods, building friendships and adjusting to an entirely different environment. Among all these changes, one decision has a particularly important role: finding the right place to live.
Because a home is more than an address. It is where routines begin, friendships develop and a new city gradually starts to feel familiar.
At mHomes, we believe that having a comfortable and thoughtfully furnished living space can make that transition easier. This belief is at the heart of our new partnership with amber, a global student accommodation platform helping students discover housing opportunities around the world.
Together, we’re connecting amber’s international student housing network with mHomes’ local expertise in furnished living in Munich.
Two Brands. One Shared Vision.
Great partnerships begin with a shared understanding of what matters. For mHomes and amber, that understanding is simple: finding accommodation should be a clearer, more accessible part of the student journey.
amber was founded by IIT Kharagpur graduates Saurabh Goel and Madhur Gujar to address the challenges students face when searching for accommodation in an unfamiliar city. What began as an idea has developed into an international student housing platform.
Today, according to amber, its accommodation network spans more than 250 cities, with more than two million beds listed and accommodation options connected to over 800 universities. The platform has developed an international presence by helping students discover, compare and book accommodation according to their individual needs.
mHomes brings a complementary perspective to this partnership. Based in Munich, we specialise in furnished accommodation and professionally managed residential spaces. Our approach combines practical furnishing, organised rental processes and ongoing property management.
mHomes in numbers: more than 10 years of experience in furnished living, more than 500 units rented in and around Munich, and now also expanding to Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
amber helps students discover their next place to live. mHomes focuses on the living experience that follows.
It’s a partnership that connects international reach with local knowledge.
Why Munich? Why Now?
Munich has long attracted students from around the world. With internationally recognised universities, a strong business environment and a distinctive cultural identity, the city in Bavaria, Germany, offers opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.
But choosing where to live is not always straightforward. Students need to consider their university location, transport connections, monthly budget, preferred living arrangement and move-in schedule.
A centrally located apartment may offer convenience, while a furnished private room in a shared apartment can provide an opportunity to meet other residents and become part of a new community. There is no single right answer. The best choice depends on how each student wants to live.
Through our partnership with amber, we aim to make participating mHomes accommodation easier for international students to discover and evaluate as they prepare for life in Munich.
Designed for Living. Ready for What’s Next.
At mHomes, we see furnishing as more than an aesthetic decision. A comfortable bed, practical storage, a dedicated workspace and a functional kitchen can make a meaningful difference to everyday life. For a student arriving from abroad, these details matter. If you are curious how we think about furnishing, see our guide to furnishing an apartment in Munich (in German).
Our furnished rooms and shared apartments are designed around the practical needs of residents who are studying, working or beginning a new chapter in the city. Depending on the property, accommodation may include:
- Private furnished bedrooms with space to study and relax.
- Shared kitchens and facilities for everyday living.
- Internet connectivity and essential residential amenities.
- Access to Munich’s public transport network.
- Professionally coordinated property management and resident communication.
Each property has its own characteristics, facilities and rental conditions, which should be reviewed before booking.
Our philosophy is straightforward: good living starts with spaces that work for everyday life.
From International Discovery to Local Living
For students planning a move from another country, finding accommodation involves more than choosing a room from a photograph. Understanding rental conditions, evaluating location and knowing what to expect on arrival are equally important.
Our collaboration brings together two complementary parts of this experience. Through amber, students can explore participating accommodation options and review relevant booking information. Through mHomes, residents benefit from locally managed accommodation, with property-specific information and move-in arrangements coordinated as part of the rental process.
The goal is to create a more connected journey between discovering a place to live and beginning life in Munich. Because feeling prepared makes a difference when everything around you is new.
Finding the Right Place for Your Next Chapter
Before choosing accommodation in Munich, we encourage students to consider a few essential questions.
- Location: How convenient is the journey to your university, workplace or preferred neighbourhood?
- Living style: Would you prefer a private room in a shared apartment or a more independent living arrangement?
- Budget: What is the full monthly cost, including any additional charges or utilities?
- Furnishing: Does the accommodation provide the furniture and facilities you need for your stay?
- Rental conditions: Are the move-in date, rental duration, deposit requirements and booking terms suitable for your plans?
Taking time to understand these details can help you make a more informed decision. And when the right accommodation meets the right moment in life, moving becomes more than a logistical step. It becomes the beginning of belonging.
A Partnership Built Around New Beginnings
For mHomes, partnering with amber represents another step in connecting our local residential expertise with an international community. For students, it introduces an additional way to discover furnished accommodation in Munich. And for both companies, it reflects a shared commitment to making the search for a new home more accessible and transparent.
We are looking forward to welcoming more international students to Munich and helping them begin their next chapter with confidence.
New city. New opportunities. A place to call home. Welcome to Munich.
