You're right! Of course, you won't get a nice 2-bedroom place in a good Warsaw neighborhood for E250 a month...But in a nice smaller Polish or Bulgarian town or somewhat depressed -rural place, in much of depressed Europe, you can, easily. I think you could also get a nothing-special-studio apartment (long term) in a medium sized decent town-- working class neighborhood . I am︀ not talking about Air BnB vacation resort towns either.
