Hi Christine, its not easy to find a nice flat or house in Hamburg and also mostly expensive. If you are looking close to the center of town or around to the Alster River you have to pay higher rates than in outlying districts.
You can find some privat ads on sublet.com, abendblatt de, immoscout and some others. You can find maybe some answers of your matter on expat-consult.com.
Befor you sign a contract please have a look to the object and ask for additional costs!
Best regads and good luck, XiscoHamburg
