I apologize in advance for the rant... but why is it so hard to find a decent apartment to rent a room from in Madrid? (well, within the city center or accessible by bus,metro). I'm trying to find something from June on, that isn't a dump, doesn't have roaches, has honest people that will give me my deposit back before I leave and is somewhat close to my Language school (between San Bernardo and Arguelles metros) I have looked on all the websites I possibly can and despite my price range (up to 600 euros)I cannot even find anything decent. I'm 25 and I am pretty laid back. I just want to learn spanish/do my internship and enjoy the city while living in a decent place (nothing fancy,just not a dump). Anyone have any suggestions?
