Depends when you�re coming: all the rooms are beginning to get snapped up now as the Erasmus students arrive: In another week you�ll be scratching around a bit.
That said, it�s a bit dodgy renting sight-unseen - room/area/flatmates/all three could be rubbish.
You can always stay in a hostel for 15 euros a night for a month: it�s really not that much more expensive though you won�t get as much sleep.
My advice is to get here as soon as you can then have a good look before you lay out your cash: there�s some horrible places out there! |

A word of warning: some of the ads for incredibly low priced "studios" are invented by scamming agencies. If they ask for a fee before you see a place, say no and don't bother being polite about it. |
