    This is very old Yugoslav style of an apartment as you have noticed. These days people are going more for minimalistic flats, newly designed furniture similar to Scandinavian style. We have left those large cabinets and storage closets from ceiling to floor behind us. But still great location, and very good value for the price. The most important thing is to feel like it’s your home and to have a pleasant vibe. Everything else, who cares. :-)

    Welcome to Serbia and thank you for your videos and lot of beautiful words about Serbia and Serbian people. Some Serbian people are often not aware of the country they live and quality of life they have, they watch films and believe is much better to live somewhere in US or EU. But the way of life we are living, and the fun we have - it’s hard to find such a country anywhere. We maybe don’t have so much money as many Europeans (it is getting better though), but we know to live and enjoy our time, and most of people in Europe don’t have that opportunity. Belgrade is famous about it’s life in night and lot of places to have fantastic time. Also, every day Belgrade is becoming more and more beautiful, real European metropolis and together with Athens the most beautiful city in South-Eastern Europe.
    About your apartment, it is really old style. Reminds me of when I was a child. Serbians are living now in much modern apartments, and I believe you can find literally thousands and thousands better apartments in Belgrade for the same money and approximately the same location. But if you are ok with it - that’s all what matters.

While in Belgrade visit the Avala mountain and the Avala tower.

This year Charles became a Serbian citizen actually, he lives in Novi Sad. I think both of them can help you with any administrative (or any other) concern you may have. Keep that spirit.

      I agree. The building was built in 1959 and I assume the apartment was an unfinished bare cinder block apartment when they bought/was assigned it. I have a local carpenter friend who came over to check it out and he said the finishings were probably pretty expensive when they were installed for the time. So nothing was done on the cheap.

I see no RCD (Americans call it a GFCI, you have it in the bathroom outlets, we have the whole place on one in the breaker panel) and we had an RCD in our apartment that was built in 1991. Maybe there are bootleg grounds on the outlets, in that case an RCD will not work right.

      ​@@bradbeckett A TN system (means ground and neutral are connected at some point) is safer than TT where ground and neutral are 100% separate and a TT system requires a working GFCI to be safe, if the GFCI breaks it is about as good as having no ground at all. So probably those 2 buildings are more similar than you think, a GFCI will work fine as long as ground and neutral are never connected after it, it really doesn't matter about what is before it, so either there are bootleg grounds or maybe it's just because there is a common misconception among Serbian electricians that it won't work.

Moja strina npr. se bojala da dodje jer kao da je "ne ubiju cetnici" Nikog realno ne interesuje ko je odakle ili sta je. Dosta drugacije je nego u Bosni. Jedino bi mogao imati problema sa drugim Bosancima kojih ovde ima. Oni jedini i donose svoj nacionalizam ovde zadnjih 30 godina. Jeftinije je od Amerike a i dosta sigurnije. Ima tona dzamija ako si vernik tako da je to super. A sto se tice nacionalnih tenzija toga stvarno nema za razliku od Bosne jer na podruciju Srbije nikad realno nije ni bio nikakav gradjasnki rat ili slicno. Tako da welcome i uzivaj!

      Due to CV situation I believe there are a lot of apartment owners who will be happy with your quoted price.

      You should see how the very creative landlord's "renovated" it, they made it worse. I liked it because it screamed Yugoslavia!

    Homie, what were, in your opinion, the biggest cultural shocks that you've witnessed so far living in Serbia?

      I am well traveled so I am not shocked by anything. Life here is very normal and not shocking at all.

      A da li si živeo u Kaliforniji?
      Ja jesam i videla sam kuće mojih školskih drugova. Nisu svi bogati! Doktori, advokati, stomatolozi da. Zgrade zidane od cigle su banke, institucije, ali privatne kuće retko.

    I think 400 dollars is too much for that apparmant, nothing special. I think that problem is that all good appartmants are turned to be for daily rent.

      People who say this is overpriced clearly have no idea about the rent situation in belgrade and I’d bet they’re not even from around here... don’t listen to them, you’ve got yourself a real steal! Lucky! And the comments saying the view looks like Lebanon... probably never had a chance to travel the world and actually live in largely populated cities and imagine the world actually looks like a postcard. Have fun in Belgrade!

      @@quarentinedlove2903 yes but in serbia average salary is like this appartment, 400-500$, and you must to pay other things for living... So this appartment for Serbian people who want to live in Belgrade is so expensive and for that money is too old... Maybe if there live 3,4 persons who works, then that will be ok.
