Quick question for the Berlin regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
