There's a few threads knocking around about Berlin, this http://dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=2130 leaps to mind for example, but they mainly deal with clubs, going out for a weekend etc. I know a few people have made a move over there though, so I'm hoping to tap your knowledge.
I've got an internship there this summer, going to be over for June, July and August. Working at Auguststraße 5a, 10117 in Berlin, Germany so I'm hoping to live in Friedrichshain, as it's apparently pretty good + close to office, Berghain, Hardwax, etc.
I'm told http://www.wg-gesucht.de/ is the place to find a flat, though my lack of German is complicating matters.
Don't speak any German, I know this is a typical bullshit British stunt to pull, but I simply haven't had time to learn any. Hopefully will pick it up as I go along.
For anyone who moved there from another country sans German speaking ability, how did you sort out a flat, how tricky was it, etc?
I hear rent is 'cheap'. How cheap is cheap?
Basically any tips / advice / dos and don'ts at all I guess.
Thanks!
