It was the same way in 1974 when I was looking for an apartment as a student. Sure hasn't changed much. (I LOVE the drawing of ol' Itchy Feet jumping rope! )
Berlin is one of those cities where people turn up literally in hundrets to get a little look into a flat. And of course you dont have time to think about it, because at least 3 others will take it immediately. I don't even know Berliners, but from time to time I get frantic HELP ME FIND A FLAT! tweets in my timeline.
