Looking for 1br/2br apartment

1-2BR apartments will cost €500-800/month, a sublet room can be had for €300-400.
Look at quoka.de, kijiji.de and (for sublets and temporary rooms) wg-gesucht.de - all in German language.

Thanks beppi,

hopefully soon I will be able to share my experience regarding accomodation search, so that others may benefit.

Hallo zusammen,

as promised I am sharing my experiences regarding apartment search in Stuttgart.

Search duration: 2 months (1 month abroad, one in Germany)
Attempts taken: over 50 (both furnished and non-furnished apartments)
What I tried: internet real estate portals - not recommended, rent prices are higher than usual, 85% of classified require so called agency provision (2.38x of the net rent). Local classifieds (news), pricing OK, however, time consuming (due to lacking of graphical description).
How it ended: I found an ad at Quoka.de, and made the first contact immediately. Later I was informed that 70 people have asked for the apartment. At the day of open-door day, there were about 25 people there. I wouldn't be getting this apartment without the help of my company - the HR manager called directly and also made sure to leave a positive impression.

Hints: act immediately upon seeing ad, have somebody important (your boss) to promote you, be nice, and when visiting the apartment/house, take your time to emphasize your interest.

Good luck!
