advice about renting a furnished apartment

[alison]

I've just landed a new job in Berlin and will be moving there in late January or early February. To get started, I'd like to rent a furnished apartment. Does anyone have advice about how to get started, or have specific agencies or landlords to recommend? If it matters, my job is in Moabit, ich kann Deutsch and I won't have a car.

Thanks,
Alison Chaiken

A good place to start would be WG-Gesucht Berlin. They offer all sorts of filters to narrow down your search.e.g. furnished or unfurnished, size of flat and so on. In the past, I used them a lot and had no complaints. This should be your first port of call.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
