Rotterdam is a good city either to work or live, more than one million people from around the world living in the Rotterdam region. One of my sisters migrated to Rotterdam 4 years back and now she is living there. I have visited her place and really Rotterdam city is an exciting place with a big port & 100's of industries. You can find Rotterdam hotels ranging from luxurious to small boutique, and visit
Rotterdam hotels page for more information.
Renting a furnished apartment in Rotterdam is a good idea, if you are planning to stay more than a year. Many of the Rotterdam apartments are located very close to Exit Rotterdam highway, the big harbour and the bus, Metro and tramway stops. No matter where you stay because in Rotterdam the
transportation facility is very convenient, so you can get into anywhere easily. My sister is living in Kralingen, it's a lovely place too. Even in Rotterdam rental apartments, you will get internet and bicycles for free. And if you have not yet booked you tickets, just visit
Netherlands flights page to find a good deal. Hope this helps, best of luck!
