Expats about their experience

  • Ruben was fantastic! He helped us secure a nice furnished apartment in a very good neighborhood, even with a dog and while we were still abroad. He was always on the ball, suggesting options and responding to our messages almost instantly. It was particularly helpful that he and his colleague did a video call from the viewing, so we could see the apartment and ask all the questions on the spot. He took care of all the bureaucratic details, so all we needed to do is pick up the keys. All the five stars are totally justified. If we move again, Ruben will be our guy. Thanks a million!

  • Great service! We searched for a rental apartment for long and couldnt find anything. With the help of Rotterdam Rental Service and with Pavlina as our agent we found a great, perfect apartment in the centre of Rotterdam! The process was made very easy for us and it was also very fast and stress free. Pavlina was always giving us updates which made everything very easy and reassuring. She is also very nice and warm and it was a pleasure having her as our agent! Thank you we are very grateful and happy!
