Ok so I am completely confused. I am moving to Seville for the next few years for work. I will be working in Sanluca La Mayor but I want to live near the centre. I have never been to Seville before and I can’t afford to visit before my move so finding a place to rent is very difficult!! I have finally booked my flights out there for mid August (Yes, I know it will be hot but my job starts at the beginning of September and I want to have a week or two to explore my new home before I start work!).

Basically, I think I should find somewhere to rent for a week so I can look around and decide where I want to live long term. I can’t afford a hotel though, and as I am coming on my own I want to be safe! Any advice would be very welcome. I have looked at roomateseville.com and they seem a pretty good option for finding a long term let but if anyone can suggest anything else it would be a great help. I would really love to hear from people who know where I can rent a safe room for a week without spending hundreds of Euros.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Thanks

Charley

You should be able to find a shared room at http://www.airbnb.com for less than $200/week.

Hi Charley,

I have an appartment near the centre of town that I’m renting for 550 EUR/month. It’s south-facing, has a great balcony with amazing views, a swimming pool, and its 95 square metres in size. It’s on the same side of Seville as Sanluca la Mayor (although much closer to the centre!). It’s also right next to the metro and across the road from a bus stop. The housing estate is near the river and the area is quiet and very safe.

I’ve attached a few photos to this post (bear in mind that the photos were taken on a rainy day in January and don’t do the place justice!).

You can also check it out on loquo.com:

It’s available to rent as from July. I know that you won’t be there until August, but if you’re interested give me a call on 0034 657873497 or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Good luck!
