Do you wanna live in Berlin for a few weeks or a few months? Here are some links and info to help you on your way.
Are you planning to visit Berlin for more than just a few days or a 1 week holiday? Maybe you want to live in the city for 3 months or more? If this is the case it's not very attractive to stay at a dirt cheap hostel. Below you'll find some info and helpful links that can aid you in finding an inexpensive apartment in Germany's capital.
Craigslist
Craigslist's section for Berlin is fairly active. It's a lot of apartments listed in the "vacation rentals" section. Usually there's 10 or more added each day. These apartments are usually rented out for a few days, a week or more. If you approach one of the owners of these apartments and tell them you want to rent it for a longer time you can haggle down the price a bit.
A small studio in the Mitte districts rents for 30-40 EUR for 1 night. A big loft apartment in Kreuzberg goes for 800 EUR for one week.
