    Other than searching online, I suggest walking around the Grindel area and keeping your eyes open for tacked-up notices. Grindel is where the university is located and the main student hangout area, there are many notice boards. Competition in this area is high - if you see a notice for a flat, grab it - and run like the wind!

    Another place to check would be on the wall inside of the “Thai Cowboys” Imbiss on Susannenstrasse (Sternschanze). Many folks tack things up there as well.

    Hey - thanks for the tip! I spend enough time on Sussannenstrasse as it is so will definitely have a look in there. Now I’m dreaming about living by the harbour after drinking down there last night…

    If you are looking for a furnished flat or house in Hamburg, check out City-Wohnen. I have written a review here - http://en.qype.com/place/58100-city-wohnen-Hamburg

    another way for accommodation is Wohngemeinschaft (WG) that is flat sharing. If you don’t have any problem living people you don’t know and you need a cheaper solution, it is convenient. It might be also fun not to stay alone. Here are the website collection i have so far:

    Hey marionette, thanks a lot for the links! Sharing a place seems to be the best option for my wallet and this was all I was looking for!

    I found places that say like “3er WG”, bla bla. Does that mean it’s three rooms and everyone gets their own, or it’s all three people sharing a single room (Zimmer?)? Thanks!

    3er WG means a shared flat with 3 people - WG = wohngemeinschaft = shared flat.

    I’m moving out of my flat at the end of the month: 3 rooms in altona, quite nice, 675 including everything. Let me know if someone’s interested.

    60 square meters in Altona Altstadt. It’s a nice flat. Send me an email if you’re interested.
