Help! Oldest going to Berlin, but accommodations fell through!

<p>We were required to have full funds before booking accommodations for a several month course at a language school. Oldest had a place available a week ago, but full funds are now in our possession and the accommodation has fallen through just now, because apparently loads of students are scrambling around finding places at this time and our kid was just a tad too late though the class spot is hers (and didn’t tell us !!) Can anyone help us who might know Berlin or someone who could get things done near this address:
Gieselerstr. 30 A
10713 Berlin</p>

<p>Anyone happen to know anyone in Berlin who might host a university-aged student for a short while so she could get her bearings?</p>

<p>An overly developed sense of independence kept us out of the process until this new problem developed. :wink: If anyone can help us help our child to solve it, it would be greatly appreciated! The good news is that the German is being easily acquired! </p>

<p>S/he could stay at a hostel while looking for other accommodation, if desired.</p>

<p>try airbnb</p>

<p>She could stay in a hostel short term per Consolation’s suggestion and start looking aggressively for more permanent housing. Here is a link to a housing page for exchange/international students put up by the Berlin Technical University (it has a lot of links to city-wide websites, organizations etc.)</p>

<p>Thank you for the information. Not finding much at this late date! We should have done this months ago! Anyway, any more suggestions will be welcome too!</p>

<p>Whew!</p>

<p>Glad it worked out.</p>
