How do I find a place to live in Vilnius?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Actually my wife at that time chose this flat due to location. Things to watch out for: a seedy neighbourhood, top and bottom floors, brand-new flats (sub-standard fixtures and settling can cause serious damage), and no shade. The sun can get pretty hot here and if you have no balcony overhand or trees to block the summer sun, June/July can get pretty warm on occasion. Insist on a steel door," said one expat who made the move to Vilnius.
