Oh, those were the days when we still took the trouble to place an ad in the newspaper or to design a poster as wonderfully as our creative potential would allow in order to find the one and only room in a shared apartment... Okay, admittedly: what does that mean? there “we”? Most of you reading this grew up with the Internet and only left home when the way you searched for a shared apartment was already almost exclusively influenced by the Internet. While shared apartments have been around for ages, the first and probably best-known shared apartment portal was founded in 1999 - and has obviously remained at the current level of development, to the detriment of those looking for a shared apartment and the shared apartment providers.
There are simply too many applicants for the available shared rooms and the time-consuming and complicated search takes away the joy of finding a new, solid home. But before you throw yourself off the nearest bridge out of sheer desperation, you should take a look at a shared apartment portal that will make the nerve-wracking shared apartment search much more pleasant than you would expect, not only from the perspective of the searcher, but also from the perspective of the provider you are used to on other websites. We're talking about noknok24.de - a young Berlin startup that has some positive features, has established itself on the market within a very short time and has numerous room offers ready for you.

But it's not just these features, which we'll of course talk about in a moment, that make the portal a real alternative. First of all, there is the pretty cool design, which stands out from other portals and has little gimmicks in store for you. Just clicking around on the page becomes a pleasure. Apart from that, the site is clearly designed and mobile-optimized and therefore runs on any smartphone.
Because good connections are becoming increasingly important in the competitive housing market, noknok24 uses the social network Facebook to increase your chances of getting a coveted room in a shared apartment as much as possible. You therefore have the option of registering on the shared apartment portal using your Facebook login details. If you then click through the shared apartment advertisements and if there is a provider with whom you have a mutual friend on Facebook, this friend will be shown to you. By making these relationships visible, you can quickly end up on the list of favorite roommates. At the same time, this has the advantage for both parties that you don't bring someone into the room who you don't know and whose personality is actually completely different.
A big advantage of noknok24 is the use of integrated messaging. What this means for you is that you can see all applicants and all applications sent at a glance. Last but not least, this saves you from embarrassing telephone conversations in which you can no longer determine who has just given you a promise or who you have just offered to look at the free room. In addition, you can manage applications, acceptances or rejections with just one click and save a lot of your valuable time.
So if you want to invest more time in sleeping, eating and sleeping and eating and - not forgetting - sleeping, you should definitely click in and see for yourself!
