You can live in a nice one-room apartment in Berlin for about 390 euro a month, 15 mins away from the hip boroughs by great public transport, and 10 mins by bike. What's the price like in Paris (honest question)?
I can only speak for NYC having lived there. I paid $1100 for an apartment on Avenue C in the East Village. In Paris, for a comparable area, I'd be hard pressed to find the same space for less than €1000 per month in an area like say, Belleville. Having said that, in NYC, I was making about $60K. In Paris, I make about 30K€.
Wow. It's quite possible to make more than 60K in Berlin (in Euro's) while paying around 400-500 for an apartment. Crazy how much difference there is between cities.
