One room in a shared flat may cost you around 220 euros. You can buy a public transport tiquet of 10 journeys for 10 euros. If you are under 25 years old, you can also buy a 3 months tiquet that costs 140 euros.

No, it's very easy to find a place. Because of the economic crisis, lots of flats are able to be rent.
