As the world moves towards a carbon-neutral future, sustainability is the core of what we do. Among other things, a large majority of our houses have solar panels, sustainable appliances, and a rainwater harvesting system. Most of our furniture is bought on the second-hand market, giving them a second life. We have a strong focus on energy cost reduction, thanks to dedicated tools in every home. Read more here!

No, our houses are smoke-free.

Depending on the house and room type, two people can stay in one room at Cohabs. However, there is a limited amount of options for couples.

Even though we love animals, pets are not allowed due to hygienic reasons and for our members who may be allergic.

Coliving is a form of housing where residents share a living space as well as a set of interests, values, and intentions. Coliving is sustainable and promotes openness and collaboration, social networking, and the sharing economy.

Located in cities across the world, Cohabs offers a range of beautiful places that feel just like home. Our houses are composed of private bedrooms and fully furnished shared common spaces. Anyone can apply!

Our houses almost always have ample storage space for bicycles.

As we promote alternative mobility, we rarely have parking for cars but there are many public or private parking garages near our houses.

Don’t worry, we will send you the address when you receive the link to your virtual tour.

Most of the Cohabs houses in Belgium are equipped with Salto Smart-lock security systems. On top of that, we also use a Ring security system to keep the main entrance safe. You will have the ability to unlock/lock your room via the Cohabs app.

For privacy reasons, we do not access or transfer data, unless you give us your explicit permission (for example, if we ever have to track suspicious activity around the house).

The Cohabs app is designed to accompany you throughout your stay, and make things as flexible and simple as possible. From day one, the app will help transition into community life and allow you to access all the necessary services and information during your stay.

You can use it to plan your move-in and move-out, check your rent balance, RSVP to Cohabs events, access smart home technology, submit and track maintenance requests, and access important house information.

The app is downloadable from the Apple App Store and the Android Play Store.

Beyond living and connecting with an open-minded community, your rent includes:

Basic supplies, monthly breakfast, a fully-furnished bedroom with a private or shared bathroom, spacious and well-decorated common areas, a tech-friendly environment (access to our mobile application, WiFi, Netflix, etc.), all utility costs (electricity, water, heating, insurance, etc.), weekly cleaning of the shared spaces, monthly events, and best of all, new friends!

Every house has its own designed shared spaces.

You’ll always find a fully-equipped kitchen, a living room, and a laundry room. Most of our houses also have a garden or terrace, a gym, a cinema room and, with a bit of luck, sometimes a poker room or sauna!

We don’t impose any strict curfew on our homes, but we count on our members to respect the tenants and neighbors. We have a quiet hours policy starting at 10 pm during the week and 10:30 pm on weekend nights.

Our availability depends on our occupancy rate, but also on the type of room you are looking for, the neighborhood, and other preferences. We have many houses under renovation, so we have a large number of rooms that are opening very soon.

After your call with one of our Community Managers, we will send you our availability based on the type of room you're looking for. If you want to secure your room, don’t dawdle! It's "first come, first serve" at Cohabs.

In addition to the accommodation provided, every member has access to a monthly subscription that handles extra benefits like a bedding pack.

These services are not included in the monthly rent. You can subscribe to extra services by purchasing packs in the Cohabs app. After that, we will take care of everything.

No, we unfortunately do not admit children in our homes.
