Longtime lurker, first time poster, and I need some PolishForum help: What's the best approach to finding a flat in Warsaw?

I just spent the weekend in Warsaw trying to find a flat and it was a nightmare -- I looked at eight pretty impressive shitholes, so I think I need to reorganize my approach. Should I be using an agency? Am I not using the right websites (I used en.otodom.pl/ and bezposrednie.com/) when searching on my own? What has worked for people on here? Any advice you can offer would be huge!

Try Gumtree Warszawa - that's usually the best source. Avoid small ads in the newspaper, they're often put in by agents pretending to be the flat's owner.

My boyfriend and I are trying to use Gumtree to find housing for October. We contacted several apts through the site with English and a Polish translation. We haven't heard from a single one. I am using Google Translate on the page and suspect this may be causing a problem. Has anyone used it in the translated form? Is it best to just try and call the apartment owners directly?

Searching for a place to rent in gumtree is very hard for the foreigners, usually the have only phone numbers and if you have someone who speaks polish then you can ask him/her to call the person!Otherwise you will need a miracle to get an answer via mail either english or polish.

No it is not.Just post an ad on Gumtree Warsaw in English (using google translate ) with your specifications, location , rent period and budget + your email and for sure if someone has anything you will be contacted .

A lot of people speak fluent English in Warszawa, no problem.

If you have money use agents.If you dont use couch surfing and ask your hosts to help you.I am sure there are other ways also but thats what I would do If I was in any of those situations.
