 How do I start looking for a place to rent?

The monthly rental price of a two-room apartment might cost between 80.000 to 200.000 HUF (250-620 EUR); The surroundings, the distance from the Univeristy and the facility might affect this price. Please note that utility bills and property management fee are not included in the rental fee.
