7. What can I do if I have not been able to find accommodation through your service or am not eligible to use your service?
We would like to recommend you the following websites for your independent search: https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/sites/unterbringung/individuell/index.html
Here are some additional links:
- Bildungswerk Kreuzberg, http://bwk-apartments.de/
- Ju-Li, https://www.ju-li.de/
- Christ & Co. GmbH, www.christ-co.com
- Tannhaus, https://tannhaus.com/de/city/berlin
- GreyStay, http://greystay.com/
- Uniplaces, https://www.uniplaces.com/de/accommodation/berlin
If you can imagine living in a shared apartment, I can recommend https://www.wg-gesucht.de/, www.wg-suche.de (with matching tool) and https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/ or different Facebook groups such as „WG Zimmer Berlin“. The best way would be to publish an advertisement yourself stating what you are looking for and describing yourself (hobbies, cooking abilities, etc.).
Unfortunately, among some housing providers there are also black sheep in the form of apartment scammers.
