Here is a list of internet sites where you can find housing and other useful information about Madrid. Past students have told us that www.loquo.com, www.polirooms.com, and www.easypiso.com are the best sites if you are only looking for a room in an apartment/flat shared with other people. In addition, past students have said that both www.idealista.com and www.segundamano.es are very reliable as well. Finally, the Canterbury library has a message board where students exchange all types of goods. There are usually several listings for rooms/apartments/flats on our board as well.
