Moving to Bern & Looking for a Place to Rent
hello all! I'm moving to Bern soon for a job and started looking for apartments to rent. I was told that it's difficult to find a place in Bern, but I keep seeing available apartments that look decent. How is that? Do people get rejected when they apply? Or is it just a good time?
I'm looking through the main websites for renting, I quite like flatfox. do you guys think thats a good one? Any other recommendations?
And, I am not sure where to rent. Lorreine seems cool and a place i would enjoy. I like to be around bars, cafes, etc. but not too hectic, or in a student-heavy area. I could also like a more outside place that has a nice scenery, calm vibes. Mattenhof maybe? Anyway I'm open to suggestions. I want to be able to cycle to uni, live on my own, and having a balcony would be a plus :)
One last question: How much would be a reasonable rent in Bern. I found places for 1800 or for 1300? Should i aim for something between these?
Sorry for the many questions. I would really appreciate your help!!!!
