Hi guys,

I'll move to Madrid in June and can't speak Spanish yet. Therefor I found the only website useful to me to find a place www.idealista.com. Unfortunately they only advertise apartments/villa's. Aren't there website's out there which advertises rooms? The reason is: I'm only one person and can't afford an apartment/villa.

In Madrid is in English and advertises rooms.

Best bet will be to get a room or hostal and look for something when you are here; it's nearly impossible to arrange anything from overseas. Madrid Insider can help with that..

loquo.com lists rooms for rent in shared apartments. The site has an English option, but that doesn't mean that the actual ads will be.

Good luck,
Bonnie

hey Evert.

they advertise just not all of them do so in english.

as Juliette said, www.in-madrid.com has a great classifieds section with many rooms offered.

check out http://madrid.loquo.com as Nanny recommended, they have TONS of room rental and apt. share ads.

"The Broadsheet" ( http://www.tbs.com.es ) also has english language classifieds. the madrid section is HERE but it is new so there is not much there right now.

see also the up-and-coming MAPMADRID classifieds HERE cool

ok, there is a GREAT "pisos compartidos" section of "segundamano" at http://inmobiliaria.segundamano.es/subseccion.cfm?categ...subcategoria_id=6300 . the madrid page is directly HERE

it is in spanish but with a spanish-english dictionary you should be able to muddle your way through.

also, if you have questions or do not understand something, you have us here to help so just post on this thread and we will clarify cool

i am with Juliette here, it is tough to get anything good while still abroad. get a temp place (for example through Madrid Insider (see link from Juliette above) and then look for more permanent digs when you get here.

saludos,
jer...
