Default Moving to Hamburg from UK, looking for a room

Hi there, I'm Steve and I'm from Scotland. Just got a dream job at a game company in Hamburg and currently looking for a room to rent for a few months.
At the moment I don't speak any German but I will be taking classes.

I will be arriving in Hamburg on the 29th of April so ideally would love to have a room around then. I'm an easy going friendly person and very easy to live with.

If anyone can help, that would be great.

Thanks for reading.

Cheers
Steve

Hey Steve, can't offer you a room but I wanted to say a quick good luck because your circumstances sound very similar to what mine will be in a few months, hopefully.

1 final interview away from my dream games industry job in Berlin.. very hopeful.. best of luck to you!

Google found this site - https://www.homeforrent.de/en/furnis...houses-hamburg - but I've never been to Germany so no idea on how suitable they are.
