Hi folks,

finally I made it - I will be moving to Madrid during summer or early autumn...

Does anyone know some people renting apartments in Retiro / Goya zone ? I know the other possibilities (segundamano etc.) but having some research apart is not harming I learnt.

hi,

I used to go to Uni in Madrid and got my place through EASO which is a student residence. Its a shared appartment and when I was there in 2001 I paid about £180.00 a month. It all depends on the size of your room though. I was in a shared room but it was HUGE and really central with its own little balcony. All costs are included, and you have a weekly cleaner as well. Take a look at their website wwww.easo.net. I loved it there, and made so many friends.

thanks for the tip - I will check it out.
however may stay will certainly be for a couple of years, therefore I think it should be something more decent to live in, besides I am not going alone...
I was hoping that people from madrid can give me some phone numbers or recommend someone who is planning to rent an apartment in the coming months...
thanks anyway
