In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a couple from Austin, Texas, who are relocating to Wiesbaden, Germany. The couple, Alex and Samantha, has always been fascinated by the German culture and the European way of life. With Samantha's job opportunity from an international organization, the couple decided to take the plunge and move to Germany.
Alex and Samantha's wish list for their new home includes a spacious living area, a comfortable kitchen, and two bedrooms for future guests. They want their apartment to be in close proximity to cafes, restaurants, and shops, as they love strolling around and exploring new places. The couple also wants easy access to public transportation as they plan to travel frequently.
Their budget is €2,000 per month, and with the help of their real estate agent, they explore various properties in Wiesbaden. The first apartment they visit is located in a historic building in the heart of Wiesbaden. The apartment has a spacious living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy bedroom, and a balcony with a breathtaking view of the city. However, the lack of storage space in the apartment becomes an issue, and the couple is unsure if it is worth sacrificing storage for the view.
The second property they visit is located in a modern building with a beautiful garden. The apartment has a large living area, a functional kitchen, and two bedrooms. The building has a fitness center and is in close proximity to a park and shopping center. The couple is impressed with the property, but the location is farther away from the city's center than they initially hoped for.
The last property they visit, located in the heart of the city, checks all the boxes on their wish list. The apartment is spacious, has a fully-equipped kitchen, and a guest bedroom. The property is close to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. The only downside is the rent, which is slightly over budget.
Throughout the show, the couple is faced with tough decisions as they navigate through their search amidst different properties, each having its own strengths and weaknesses. They even make a trip to Munich to experience Oktoberfest, and to truly embrace German culture and history.
Will the couple find the perfect apartment that suits their lifestyle and budget in Wiesbaden? The episode takes the audience through the journey of Alex and Samantha’s search, while offering a glimpse into the rich German culture and lifestyle.
