Show me your local flat renting market and few things you like/dislike about it

Hey there, first time posting so hello! :)

One of the examples that I dislike:

  • You can see price in the top right corner as 1800 zł, that price is used in listings as well
  • But there is additional price which is added on top of that "Czynsz - dodatkowo" which is additional 400 zł
  • Overall it is 2200 zł, but I cannot know it before clicking the offer, and also when looking through listings some offers use that additional price and some don't, comparison is non-existent, 2000 zł flat can be cheaper than 1800 zł flat when going through the listing
  • Otodom is the biggest entity in online flat renting / selling in Poland :)

For anyone that would like to know about Polish renting market (like someone doing it for other markets :) ), there are:
