What sites do you you guys recommend for renting? Longer term, as in 3 months +. Also, what kind of money are you shelling out each month for a decent apartment?

[I sent a few PM's about this, and Roosh said to post it publicly so he could answer there.]

If anyone has any similar sort of info for other European countries, I'd be interested also. I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that writing things like "apartment rent Florence" for example just brings up holiday or overpriced places.

Whereas using the language of the country gets you local-standard prices.

If anyone wants a longer term place in Wroclaw, near Rynek, send me a PM. I have a vacant 1 bdrm flat on Biskupia street, renting for 2600 zloty/month, including all utilities/internet, and fully furnished.

Great landlord. I signed a 12-month last August, and was going to break it (since I'm back in the USA). But I thought I could do some of you guys a favor (and the landlord).

Also, the best deals are found via gumtree.pl, which is the local Polish craigslist (but it's not in english, so I needed help from friends).

You can get a decent place for 1500 zl/month, but maybe a little far away from the center. You could also get a place near the center for that price, but with roommates. For a nice 1-bdrm spot next to Rynek, it's about 2000-2500 zl/month.

Teedub, this link is what some people use to gauge costs not just for rent but everything.

Thought I would share it in case you have not seen it before. Rent a 2 bedroom so I have a place to crash lol.

Thanks for that. It seems Lviv, Ukraine isn't really that much cheaper than Wroclaw either. The fact I can comfortably afford a 3 bedroom apartment in the city center is insane compared to how much it would be in England.

Gumtree.pl as mentioned is the main website to find a flat in poland.

You also have real estate agencies. Try to find it via Google and the name of the city.

Also, ask polish people if you know some, it works great.

Wroclaw must be cheaper than Krakow so I guess for 2000 PLN / month all included you can have a nice flat near center.

That's very generous of you but I only need one room.

LOL.

^ Haha you're welcome. Thanks for the responses everyone, both here and via PM.

If you want to do it on your own:

tablica.pl
gumtree.pl

You'll probably need someone who speaks Polish to call the listings, but you can try emailing them in English.

Another option is to search for wroclaw real estate offices on google maps ("wroclaw nieruchomosci") and ask them for help, though you'll have to pay an agency fee. You could try short-term apartment listings like asapart.com, but their monthly rates are very high.

Thanks mate

Struggling to find somewhere on Airbnb that is suitable. They all seem to be either run by agencies (who I've heard mess you around a lot), are way overpriced, or not suitable (I.E I need a desk to work from).
