Is this trip a just an idea or really happening? You can definitely do Europe for less than you think. Now is a good time to do it too with the Dollar a bit stronger.
Furnished apartments are definitely the way to go, but make sure they have Internet connections or you'll be spending your day hunting for wifi connections.
I would suggest getting a cheap unlocked cell phone that uses sim cards from eBay if you don't have one already. Then just buy pre-paid sim cards in the countries you visit. There are also free roaming sim cards that you can use in any country you visit. Some airlines off them. If you wanted to make it easy for people in the US to call you then setup a US Skype In phone number, load it up with credit, and have it forward to your European cell.
Once you get out to Europe there are a lot of discount airlines you can use, but be careful not to get fucked with excess baggage fees. Trains are buses are always an option too.
Now as for the question of where to go......
What are you looking for? A rich cultural experience, extreme debauchery or a little of both?
