Cost-of-living score 68/100 (mixed); housing is the biggest component. Saturation is moderate: established expat pockets, most locals still local.
How renting works
- Expect income proof and often a local guarantor or larger deposit as a newcomer.
- "Unfurnished" can mean no kitchen or light fittings; ask exactly what's excluded.
- Understand notice periods and whether rent is regulated.
- Independent contract review for anything over a year.
