accommodation in Łódź
Short stay
hostels/hotels : Łódź has a big selection of hostels and hotels. It is easy to find on the internet. We haven't yet looked into the foreign friendliness aspect of them. For now we can just tell you that the prices vary from about 25PLN in shared dormitories to about 80 - 180PLN for a separate room in the hostel. For about 400PLN you can get yourself a night in one of Łódź's 4 star hotels. Of course the prices can be influenced by various factors.
Couchsurfing is the way people share their couch without any payment just for the fun of exchange. It works all over the world. You can register and find yourself a host. When you have your place you can also host other newcomers or travelers. It supports cultural exchange on many levels. It is a way you could also find people to meet up for a cup of coffee or find out about international events organized by other couch surfers from Łódź.
Airbnb (short stay / long stay) is a website where you can find rooms (at somebody's home) or even entire houses that people rent for short and long period of time. It is often treated as an alternative to hostels/hotels, the prices tend to be attractive and as couchsurfing it involves the precious element of cultural exchange.
Long stay:
To find an long-term accommodation with fair relation of quality to the price without speaking or reading Polish language can be hard but not impossible.
Łódź based company "POLAND EXPAT" offers a very foreign friendly website - rentflatpoland.com
There is also a number of websites and Facebook groups where you can find ads sometimes also posted in English, sometimes with a help of google translator you can reach a full understanding. We also recommend not to be shy and contact the people they have posted the ad in English, there is a good chance they will understand and write you back.

If you are a worker, your employer is your contact person, if you are a student - your university or your student organization would be best to contact. The support of Polish native speaker may help you in the initial phase to negotiate with the landlord and local real-estate agencies.
