IllustrationAbout this room
A furnished room in a professionally run shared apartment in Merl, prepared for someone arriving with luggage rather than a van.
The room measures 14 m² and comes with a bed, mattress, wardrobe, desk and chair, bedside storage and a window that opens. The kitchen, living space and bathroom are shared with the other residents of the flat.
The apartment has 3 bedrooms in total. Common areas are cleaned on a professional schedule rather than by rota, which removes the most common source of friction in shared housing, and the flat is let to working professionals only.
The rent is a single all-inclusive figure. Heating, electricity, water, high-speed internet and the cleaning of common areas are covered, so there is no annual charges reconciliation to budget for and no supply contract to open, transfer or close when you leave.
Barresi Group manages the property directly, which means one point of contact from the first viewing to the last day of the lease. We work in English, French and Italian, and we answer on WhatsApp during working hours.

Location
Merl, Luxembourg City. Park, schools and family stock, on the western edge of the city.
Merl lies south-west of Belair, between the Route d'Esch and the Val Sainte-Croix.

The international school community and several sports clubs are anchored here.

Questions tenants usually ask
What exactly is included in the rent?
The monthly figure covers heating, electricity, water, high-speed internet, building charges and the cleaning of the common areas. There is no separate utility bill to open in your name and no annual reconciliation at the end of the year.
Is there a minimum rental period?
The rental period is agreed case by case. Tell us how long you expect to stay, including if the answer is that you do not yet know, and we will tell you straight away whether the room works for that.
Is the room furnished?
Yes, and it is ready to use on the first day.
What deposit will I be asked for?
A rental guarantee is paid before the keys are handed over. The amount is set in the lease, within the limit fixed by Luxembourg law, and is returned after the departure inventory once any agreed deductions are settled.
Which documents do I need to apply?
An identity document, proof of income such as an employment contract or your two most recent payslips, and, for non-EU nationals, the relevant residence document. Nothing else is needed to start.
Are pets allowed?
Pets are considered on request, taking account of the building rules and, in a shared apartment, the other residents.
When can I move in?
Availability is confirmed when you enquire, because it changes. Send us the date you need and we will tell you what is possible on this address and on the nearest alternatives.
Can I see it before committing?
Yes. Viewings are arranged by appointment, in English, French or Italian, and we also run video viewings for people who are still abroad.
