Camino Frances(2018, 2019), about to walk Camino Norte
Hello camino friends,
I hope you will not mind me posting this question here.

I know many of you live in Madrid. I am looking for a room to rent in a shared apartment (my budget is limited) from February to June 2021. I will be studying in Madrid with an erasmus scholarship. Do you any of have a space to rent to a fellow peregrina or know of someone that offers one? I don't have many requirements other than a quiet place to sleep and a kitchen to cook in. This is my second degree so I am older, not your average party loving student and will keep the place neat in a responsible manner. I am studying art restoration. Do you have any suggestion on where to look?

Thank you and be safe!

Perhaps you mean 2021?

It might be worth trying the university language schools. If you’re confident that you’ll be there in the months you stated for 2021 I’d guess that they’re not exactly inundated with bookings at the moment.

Hey Henry, thank you for the quick reply. Can you elaborate on what you mean by university language schools? Student dorms of some sort? What search terms can I use?
 
Try ‘Madrid university language school’ in a well-known search engine.

many post-grads attend language schools in Spain and shared apartments (as well as home-stays and more traditional student accommodation) are common. I’ve attended courses in Malaga and Madrid in the past and the course provider gave me a range of options at all price points.

i don’t know if they would be helpful but it just occurred to me that with the current obvious restrictions on travel there is likely to be a shortfall in confirmed forward bookings.

I’d suspect that there would also be a university-based student accomodation service.
 
I know when my nephew was going to Barcelona for a university research position, he found accommodation through a community not-for-profit Facebook site. I also think that there would be plenty of AirBnB offerings empty.

Hi Tantalu, I'll ask around for you and let you know if anyone can help.

Hello Tantalu,
I live in Barcelona so am unable to offer you a place to stay. You might try joining a couple of the FaceBook groups that are specific to accommodation in Madrid. There are many and, if like similar groups here in Barcelona, they are very active and offer a range of different types of accommodation including rooms for students. Good luck with your studies!

Tantlu, considering how the tourist industry has suffered, you might consider "approaching" some folks who ordinarily rent out apartments through AirBnb/VRBO. Private duenos might consider a better deal than they advertise for several reasons: 1) Said beat up tourist business 2) Your long-term stay 3) Being the lone renter might mean less wear and tear on their property. We have rented the same apartment 3 times but, sadly, it is no longer available. Being close to a metro station is worthwhile as is having a washing machine, which would be a huge money-saver for you.

Oh, and by the way, renting a room in a home might weary you after a while. It's a crap shoot as to how comfortable you will really be sharing a place with others. We did this for short stays of 2-3 days in Granada and in Valencia on previous trips to Spain and determined that apartments were the way to go for us, a retired couple. While "immersion" is a great goal, remember that you need to be comfortable and fully rested so you can concentrate on your studies.

Good luck,
Elizabeth
