    @Jenny

    Born in Taipei, studied in Taiwan and USA, and now I live in Berlin. Before moving to Germany, I worked as an HR Business Partner in a big corporate. HR is where my passion lies. In Berlin, I am very lucky to find new things that enlighten me as well – The startup/entrepreneurship culture.

    I want to share with you the tips and information I have about Berlin, Startups, and HR. I hope you find something here useful.

    • Find apartments in Germany (Berlin: A step-by-step guide)

      Plan ahead and don't wait. It may take more than 3 weeks or month to find an apartment in Berlin. It requires a lot of work and time. Start your search as early as possible. Here are the top 2 websites we use.

      ImmobilienScout24: Top 1 apartment / flat search
      https://www.immobilienscout24.de/wohnen/mietwohnungen.html

      WG-Gesuch: it’s a popular shared-room search. This site also includes room-swap. You can filter further to exclude room swap posts (Tauschangebot: select "Nein", No).
      http://www.wg-gesucht.de/wg-zimmer-in-Berlin.8.0.1.0.html
      0_1522647896668_059387a6-7a8b-4dbb-93a3-066d6313a6ce-image.png
      Reminder:

      1. On all the websites, watch out for fake posts. NEVER transfer money before you see the apartment and at the last step closure of signing the contract.

      2. If you are looking for an unfurnished apartment, please read the description in detail. Pay attention that kitchen may not be included. You may need to buy from the previous tenant or buy on your own. Or you can redefine your search criteria to include kitchen (mit Kuche).

      3. Elevator / Lift is the same. Take this into consideration if you care about higher floor without elevator.

      More websites:
      https://www.immowelt.de/
      https://www.immonet.de/
      https://www.berlinovo.de/de/suche-wohnungen (offer furnished apartments in Berlin)
      https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-wohnung-mieten/c203
      You can also contact housing agencies directly for more options.

      Keep it up!
      This motivates me so I'm now planning to do the same. My goal is to do cycling at least 15 minutes every day and continue for 21+ days. 🙂

      Further Filters: try not to be too strict with your search criteria! It will make it more difficult to find an apartment.
