So what's it like these days? I'm moving to Berlin at the end of this month, and will need a furished studio flat or furnished room in a flat share for 2 or 3 months (will still have my flat in Düsseldorf, as my girlyfriend will still be there and I'll be going back every couple of weeks, so I need to keep it cheap for a bit).
Any recommendations on where in the city? Anyone living there got any leads on available places?
Cheers, chaps.

Also this is good: http://www.wg-gesucht.de/
There are also many, many boarding houses in Berlin. But it depends so much on which area you'd like to live in and what your budget is.

as for where, it all depends on your budget, what you want out of a neighbourhood etc..
if you have cash to burn and want to be where all the action is, Kreuzberg is your best bet.. Friedrichshain is also ok, depending on where you go..
Neukölln is kind of hot right now with the hipsters..
Mitte if you have more cash than sense and want to be in a clean neighbourhood surrounded by tourists.
Prenzlauerberg is ok.. lots of young families.. no cool bars really
Wedding.. depending on where, it has its moments..
my advice, try and get something within walking distance to the U8 train line .. between Pankestr and Hermannplatz

- proximity to U8 is great advice!pressplay
- well.. it does. Sprengelkiez is actually kind of nice..autoflavour

Schöneberg, Moabit and Charlottenburg are also areas to consider.
I personally like Pankow, it’s a rather quiet area north of the S-Bahn Ring – it’s not that "urban" but it has some really nice spots.to look for people who are subletting their space: http://www.zwischenmiete.de is similar to www.wg-gesucht.de
