website recommendations for cheap, affordable sublets for 2 weeks to 1 month in berlin?

If you're open to a shared flat, the Facebook group "Berlin Housing" and "Berlin Shared Flat / WG" have people posting short-term sublets daily. Prices vary a lot but I've seen studios near Friedrichshain for around 600-800 euro a month, though you need to message fast. For your own place, Wunderflats is reliable but pricier, usually starting at 900 euro for a furnished studio in central areas. Keep your Anmeldung (registration) in mind if you need it for a visa or bank account, some sublets won't offer that.

For a month-long stay, check out Monteurzimmer. It's literally designed for temporary workers but anyone can book, and you'll find basic furnished studios for around 600-900 EUR a month in places like Wedding or Neukölln. The website looks a bit dated but the listings are legit and way cheaper than Airbnb.

honestly for short term stuff like that your best bet is wg-gesucht or immowelt but filter by 'zwischenmiete' which is temporary sublets. most landlords want 3+ months minimum so these sites are where people sublet while traveling or between leases. i'd also check ebay kleinanzeigen but be careful with scammers, never pay anything before seeing the place in person. expect to pay around 600-900€ for a studio in a decent area like neukölln or wedding, prenzlauer berg will be pricier

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
