Students can't find Madrid apartments under €1300 per month

“Hi everyone, I'm moving to Madrid this December and currently looking for housing options. I will be attending UC3M (Getafe). My main concerns are (1) transportation, (2) safety, and (3) affordability. Fuencarral Station is a bit far, but it's on Cercanía 4, which is convenient. I can't seem to find a lot of information online about the area. There aren't very many listings on idealists or spotahome, so I'm wondering if it's not a residential neighborhood? What is it like”

Or should I stay in a hotel in Madrid when I arrive and then start looking when I am physically in Madrid? 2) What websites should I use for a 3-month rental? Spotahome, HousingAnywhere, Aluni, or Id”

“Hi! I'm looking for some advice on renting an apartment. I'm not in Spain yet (moving to Zaragoza) so can't do any viewings, but I've found a nice enough apartment for 800 euros per month. It also seems to be an airbnb with 800 euros being the discounted rate for stays over 6 months. This is good because I've been able to look at reviews and verify that it is a real place. However, they're asking me for 300 euros to secure my reservation, and then I would pay the formal d”

“Hii, I'm going to study at the ucm3 but I'm questioning some stuff about the location of the Getafe campus, which is pretty far from the city center (about 1h with the metro). I wanted to ask to people who are studing/studied/are gonna study there if they suggest living close to the campus or to live in the city center.

“Hi everyone, I’m moving to Spain this September for my Master’s and I’m currently looking for accommodation. To be honest, I’m getting really anxious about the number of rental scams out there.
