Hi guys!
Im just finishing my 1 year Erasmus in Turkey so I found out its important to have friends who would help you from the begining. So if you need anything just find me on FB:) Btw, I read some of yours previous comments and i see many of you will be acomodated in Hostivar. I lived in high school dorm right next to that uni dorms so i was inside quite a lot (u cant make parties at high school dorm) and that rooms are not nice. So I would recommand to you to find single room for 200euro or shared for 150euro. Its not expensive and better situated. It takes at least 25mins from Histivar to city center.

Hi Jakub, it seems that that Hostivar place is not very luxurious hahaha. What I find weird is the fact that there are no private residence accommodation with single rooms, because sharing a room with someone you don't know it's shocking if you are not used to.

Anaïs Ramírez: whats shocking about sharing double room with total stranger? I think its all over the World and its normal:) I had two roommates that i didint know when i started high school, same here in Turkey (really nice dorms, but expensive and i didint like my roomie) Nevertheles it is not a problem to change your room. Czech dorms are generally kind of "hippie" zones:) On the other hand foreign students get best available rooms. But you should know that dorms in Hostivar are huge concrete houses from communist era furnished with stuff from 80s and rooms are not big:) On the other hand...u cant want much for that money:) How much is that? 2000CZK?

Yeah I know it's very cheap, but it's weird if you have had a room for yourself all your life and all of a sudden you have to share it with someone you don't know. If you look for Erasmus accommodation in Spain, UK or Ireland (and probably other countries) the normal thing is having a room for yourself (but of course it is more expensive).

Yeah it is, but these dorms are from 80s...standards were lower in that era. When you enter your room you alsoenter different century. Dorms are usually habitated by students with limited finance. Most of us rent apartments.

I've heard that Žižkov and Vinohrady are the best places to rent a flat, but I think that Holešovice is quite cheap and next to Prague 1...

As Anais said I heard that Vinohrday it's a nice place to look after a flat....the only thing I'm wondering about is on how many flats are going to be for rent in Prague, couse in many big cities are not many usually....hope not to have an hard time looking after it! We'll see:)

First of all you must decide what kind of appartment would you like. Holesovice and Vinohrady were built in middle war era. I dont like it bcs ceilings are really high like 4 or 5m. So I rather live in that concrete houses from 80s. I love Roztyly District - its on the hill and you can even see all Prague, huge park (or small forest) is right behind your house, metro, buses...everything. Yeah no pubs there:) City center is 15mins by metro. My favoutire sportbar/pub is 5mins by walk and metro. District is also 10mins by walk from Czech economic university or two stops by bus.
Panos: it may have been problem to rent an appartment for you for 4,5months but living with Czech students in their appartments is also good alternative.
The biggest accumulator of apartments from real estate agencies: http://czech-properties.cz/
Probably best place to find shared appartment: http://espolubydleni.cz/podnajem-spolubydlici/praha
Another for sharing: http://chcispolubydlici.cz/
There are no english mutations so you can start with Czech:)

I used Google Chrome to translate the first page weeks ago :) I am gonna explore that Roztyly district!
I suppose those flats with high ceilings are colder...
By the way, yesterday I remembered that when I went to Prague five years ago we saw Plzeňská street many times (as we were at Golf Hotel) on our way to Prague 1 by tram. I saw a kind of (I thought) cemetery with lots of vegetation and it caught my attention but I couldnt see it closely. So last night I googled it and it is the cemetery of Malá Strana. It is kind of creepy but I want to go there! Not alone or in the night, I am a coward XD

I suppose those flats with high ceilings are colder... / logic dictates:) it wont be cold just your bill will be higher...
I saw a kind of (I thought) cemetery .../ you saw Malostranský hřbitov....
If you like cementaries you may visit Vysehrad cementery its in Vyšehrad (you ll go there its famous lookout)
Cementeries are usually open only during day.

jakub do you think is it possible to find a small studio for 300-350 euro per month(bills included)??and also for only 5 months?many people say its better to come there and then look for a place to stay rather than through the internet,do you think the same?
Jakub Žižka

I dont think its better to come and look. Internet is your best chance if you dont know any local artists who could help you. If i take into account Pragues attractiveness for all kind of artists I dont think many studios will be available. I just checked some websites and there are some studios..the cheapest one for 280euro without bills. - http://www.annonce.cz/detail/byt-1-kk-36m2-ul-nedvedovo-15112740-w4bc9h.html .....
