(on an unrelated note): I tried to move to Berlin for summer but quickly discovered almost no apartments have AC, I mean strong South Asia-level AC. It was a major no for me as I cannot sleep with temp above 20C, 18C is perfect. Any idea how to find an AC apartment next summer on local estate apps? Any "checkbox" somewhere to tick?

Maybe a hotel will do? You can also rent an apt and buy a mobile AC yourself. Which i did this summer, for the few days it gets really hot.
A hotel is temporary, i wanted to stay May to September.. Yes mobile AC is the best plausible option but it's quite weak compared to split-AC and requires a partially open window.
There are mobile split-AC. I took one meant for camping. And the wiring between the units is small enough, so that an opened window is not a problem. Worked well enough for me.
