How do I find a place to live in Bucharest?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Through aquaintances. Met some international exchange students and kept in contact with them shrough social networks," explained one person living in Bucharest, Romania.

"Finding a suitable place to live in Bucharest depends on many factors such as budget, desired location, and required facilities. The most common way of finding accommodation in Bucharest is by searching online. There are many websites such as Airbnb, Spotahome, Homeaway and Booking.com that offer convenient and affordable housing for any requirements or preferences. Additionally, there are a variety of private listings including Facebook groups, Magazine classifieds and online forums.
