I am happy to hear that you have finally found something that meets your needs. I never meant "boasting" the way you took it. I specifically meant that you were going on and on about seeing place after place and then having people give you loads of advice, but you not only did not take the advice and help that was offered but started talking about how you did this or did that with your money after someone else mentioned your budget. So I was only calling you picky not ostentatious. In fact I lived in LA myself for 5 years before moving to Madrid and can see that by what you said you were paying for rent there why you were not finding anything similar here. Again, in my opinion what you should have done was just either book an apart-hotel or hotel where you could have stayed in the lap of luxury indefinately until the time was right for you to move into your own ideal place. Or if you wanted to save money you could've just booked a generic no frills room in a shared flat through me for 15 euros a night that would not have cost you more than 450 euros a month max. But then again hindsight is 20 - 20.

With regards to MadridInsider, I don't really know what to say. I just don't think you know what you're talking about. That's all.
Ciao,

Since I always tell everyone to start off by getting a short term place for around one week and to do the search for themselves by looking in the Segunda Mano, Loquo and / or Campus Anuncios. And you found your place on Loquo, which was also listed in the Segunda Mano, I guess you are right and I am wrong and I do not know what I am talking about.

Glad you're now able to give Madrid a chance to work its magic on you. Hopefully, you will have learned from this experience that Spain works in a very different way to US and UK. Enjoy your stay
