Firstly, I know that there is the "accommodation" request section on the forum, but I am more interested in getting some advice from people who have been in a similar situation to me.
I have been in Stuttgart now for a week, living out of hotels and it seems extremely difficult to find a room or apartment for a three month stay on an Erasmus course. I have tried the most popular websites and the University has been next to useless helping us.
I would like to live with either 1 friend or two in either a WG or a shared apartment - at a budget of about 650 each. The problem is all the short term furnished accommodation seem to want ridiculous commission on their rentals? One agency wanted 900!
Has anyone had the same problem when moving to Stuttgart? I would very much appreciate any help. Vielen Dank!
