Will be moving to Bratislava in one month, how do I find rent? by sfetea

Hello, I'll be moving to Bratislava in about one month. How do I find a nice studio to rent that can also be cheap(er) than 400 euro? I mean, where do I look, how do I proceed?

lukas.tencer

Hello, try http://roommates.sk/ or some other sites for sharing. Also if you want to have something on your own, search mostly in local newspapers and bulleting boards. You can find a lot on internet, but usually best things are in physical media. Read More
