It really depends, the NomadCost is based on staying there for a month, and not being able to rent long-term. So you'll be staying in private rooms in hostels, low-end hotels and CL/AirBnB apts.
Finding a cheap place in East Berlin for a long-term is definitely a viable option. But not if you move around as fast as digital nomads do.
- sveme 12y agoAll true, but 90 Euros for a private hostel room strikes me as way too much - a quick search on hostels.com (http://www.hostels.com/berlin/germany?dateFrom=2014-07-31&dateTo=2014-08-03&guestCount=1&homepageSearchType=dropdown#roomTypes=single http://www.hostels.com/berlin/germany?dateFrom=2014-07-31&da...) indicates something like 55,- Euros as the median prize. Mind, that's absolute high season right now. Have you thought about crowdsourcing the data entry?
- lhl 12y agoIt looks like the prices for Berlin are a bit more reasonable on the spreadsheet now (but not the site yet), but yeah, considering there were 1000+ <€30/night listings just on AirBnB when I was looking last month... it seems like there needs to be a better way to sample/get prices that's more representative. The methodology/approach is somewhat flawed (I also just spent a couple months in Tokyo earlier this year there's some discrepancies there that others have pointed out as well).
