I think my own personal top 3 would be:-
(1) Barcelona
(2) Havana
(3) Florence
I could happily live in any of them

Of course it's wonderful But visiting is one thing, living there is another..
Two years ago I was walking around and looking at rental prices out of curiosity, saw an apartment that was not very big, but nice and new, the rent was £500 and I thought hmm, that's ok. On a closer look it was £500 a week..
I forgot the name of the neighbourhood but it certainly wasn't the centre..

Well... salaries reflect the higher cost of renting/buying property in London. Its a fact that you earn a lot more in London than elsewhere in the UK

True. Still, the rental prices looked out of proportion. But that's a universal thing I guess..

Yes I think so. However, maybe its a good thing! Most people in London can't afford to live on their own, so end up with housemates and are never alone
