    There are some scams too around OLX, but the quality is indeed way below what you find on imobiliare as you can see. One of the other reasons is that expats usually use the latter,…

    If you like them then there is no issue, but usually i find them of lower quality. Not saying there aren't decent apartments, but anything <650/700 is not great IMO. Also the areas…

    I can only speak about Bucharest as that's the area I know best. From what I see it has a slightly higher GDP per capita than Lithuania, and if you factor in the metro area, Buchar…
