There are some scams too around OLX, but the quality is indeed way below what you find on imobiliare as you can see. One of the other reasons is that expats usually use the latter, thus you are more likely to find better communities. In my building there are Spanish, Italian, Canadian, US, UK, Nigerian tenants among Romanians working either tech or blue collar. Plenty of cultural exchange and, naturally, beer tasting. However, it's still Romania and services are not something I am happy with, nor can i get used to the aggressive driving and generally speaking the occasional hostility (people just getting pissed off for no reason).
