This is an important point especially if just wanting to stay short-term. Furnished places for rent are extremely rare. Pretty much the only chance for that is if you go through an agency which targets foreigners and you will pay through the nose for that. Sometimes though appliances are included. My flat included a small bar fridge. Another flat I looked at (but didn't rent) included a washing machine and TV. You'll also need your own washing machine. Rental buildings don't have a common laundry room.
