如果您打算长期待在布拉格，假期公寓是一个不错的选择。一次租下一个月，大部份可以得到15-30%的优惠。另一个选择是租用提供家具的公寓，但是缺点是必须签合约，而且支付押金，短期的租期通常需要签最少三个月的合约，但某些房东或是中介公司会同意少于三个月的租期。长期的租赁服务则为6-12个月。
Look for ads in newspapers (Annonce.cz is largest catalogue of classified listings but only in Czech), contact real estate agencies and special agencies offering serviced apartments for long term rentals. You should keep in mind location, transport costs and how long you wish to stay when choosing somewhere to live. Rents vary depending on proximity to the center and whether the flat is furnished or not. A furnished apartment with room, bathroom, living room and kitchen usually costs around 13.000 CZK a month outside of the city centre. If you want to live in the centre then you will probably have to pay double this, around 30.000 CZK. With serviced apartments you can stay for a shorter term, based on daily, weekly or monthly rates. If you wish to rent an apartment from a real estate agency then you will need to sign for a lease of at least for 3 or 6 months and pay an agency fee (usually one month’s rent), plus 1 or 2 months deposit. If renting from a private person you will only need to pay a deposit. If you are staying for at least three months then this would be the best option as it is much cheaper, prices will be around 30 to 40 percent lower compared to staying in serviced sort term apartments.
