I am arriving in Bucharest on 12 November 2008 to work there for an indefinite period as a lawyer. I am a 33 year old guy from New Zealand.
I have some temporary accommodation from my firm but I will be looking for an apartment or flatshare towards the end of November.
I have a budget of up to 1000 Euro. I would prefer a 3 room apartment or a large flatshare (big apartment or a villa) in the north of Bucharest. I am looking for something with a minimum of a balcony and washing machine (preferably also a dishwasher). I won't be coming with any furniture, so something at least partially furnished would be ideal, but not critical.
I will be working near Lacul Herastrau (strada Tipografilor), and I dont want to be more than 4 or 5 kms from there. An area like Stefan cel Mare, Piata Victoriei or Floreasca would be ideal.
I have lived in Central/Eastern Europe before (Prague for two years), so I have realistic expectations of what to expect in terms of standard of accommodation.
I am a pub/sports kind of person, though I also enjoy a wide variety of films and music.
It would be great to hear from anyone who has an apartment available or is looking for a flatmate.
Ben
