Colour me biased (I'm romanian) but I think that Cluj is the perfect town to be based in if you have a well paying remote job.

Great internet (like everywhere in Romania btw), nice town, cheap living, nice places to hike to in the surrounding countryside, university town (aka lots of girls).

Except if you stop and look around, Cluj has the highest rents and building prices out of Romania.

If you're working for a western salary, then sure, it's cheap. Not for a regular Romanian, though - especially if you're not working in IT.
