Why prices differ so much

The central districts and the ones near the beach cost the most, because that is where most people want to live and where short furnished lets compete for the same flats. The outer districts are a short metro ride away and noticeably cheaper. Almost everything listed here is furnished and rented by the month, which costs more than an unfurnished yearly contract.

What is usually included

Many rooms include bills, internet and sometimes cleaning in the price; many flats do not. Listings often leave this out, so ask before you pay anything: which bills are included, whether there is a cap, how big the deposit is and whether there are any agency or admin fees.

How to use the median

Set your budget against the median of the district you want. If you are well below it, widen the area rather than waiting. A price far below the district median is not a bargain by default: it is one of the most common warning signs of a scam, so check the listing before you send money.

FAQ

Is a room much cheaper than a studio?

Yes. In every district in the table a room costs well under a whole flat, and the gap is widest in the central districts. If you are moving alone on a tight budget, a room in a shared flat is the realistic option.

Are bills included in the rent?

It depends on the listing. Rooms often include bills and internet, flats usually do not. Always ask what is included and whether there is a monthly cap before you agree.

Which district is cheapest?

Look at the table: it is sorted from the most expensive median room to the cheapest, and it updates every hour from the listings on the market.
