Hi, I am traveling to Spain for a study-abroad program that has students stay with family hosts. I would like to find my own apartment, but I am not sure which neighborhoods in Madrid would be safe and also what the going price for a monthly rent are for those neighborhoods. Can anyone help? I will be there May 20-June 17. Thanks

Seems to me there was a recent thread in the "Safety & Security" forum regarding safe neighborhoods in Madrid. You might consider conducting a search to find those details of which neighborhoods to possibly avoid when choosing your apartment.

As for rental prices, I can't personally tell you. Have you conducted a search for that here? It may yield something. I'm sure it's been covered. Anyone have any fresh/updated information for estudiantedelespanol on this topic?

Good luck and enjoy your time in Madrid!

Saludos, MadridMan

In case your search is not helpful you can try at www.idealista.com and you'll get a pretty good picture of rental prices all over the city.
