How to find a flat in Warsaw

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.

Searching for a place to rent in gumtree is very hard for the foreigners, 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.
