That's inaccurate. Berlin's mayor is elected by Berlin's city parliament, because Berlin isn't just a city but also a federal state, and Die Linke only got ~25% of the votes. They certainly won this election (no other party got more votes and in contrast to the AfD they have realistic coalition options), but they'll need a three-party-coalition to elect a Linke mayor and I expect that this is going to be rather complicated.

Elif Eralp is a former member of The Left Party "Die Linke" and she is an advocate for affordable housing and against racism, so probably a good thing but I'm not well versed on the situation.

Honestly, I've seen some apartments in Berlin listed online for a few hundred Euro per month, so how much more affordable could it get?

Berlin has been getting pretty expensive lately (by German standards), and its area is pretty large so location matters a lot. It's quite possible that some single room apartment in the outskirts is still relatively affordable, but that's not a big help if you're a family with children or want to reach your place of work or uni within 45 minutes (especially without a car).
