Rent a flat for a month at a time to use as a home base and take day trips/weekend trips on off days. Been doing this for the last year and it has worked out great. My only word of advice would be to just do it and try not to plan too far in advance. Be flexible because you never know how things may change. If you’re considering the Balkans to reset your Schengen time, I would very highly recommend checking out Bosnia. Sarajevo is an incredible city and it’s very cheap. Centrally located as well so it’s easy to travel to other parts of the country. I rented a room there for a month for about $400 USD and meals were typically under $15 for a full meal and a beer or two. The food there is great too. Let me know if you have any other questions or need recommendations for the Balkans, I spent 3 months there in Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia this year.
