Suggestions about neighbourhoods in Madrid

Hello funkdakarma.

Welcome to Epat Blog!

Hope you'll get some responses from other members.

Thank you,

Thanks Aurelie, hope so as well!

Hi Funkdakarma,

It kind of depends on what your willing to pay for a place.  Would you be willing to share?  If so, it's a lot easier.  From what you're saying, neighborhoods like La Latina, Tribunal, Malasaña, might be what you are looking for.  Just to name a few.

Good luck!

Hi Brian,

Many thanks for your reply! I've done some research on the Internet and for my budget (max 500 Euros a month) it seems better to share as a starting option.

Thank you for the suggestions, I also recently stumbled upon this guide to Madrid neighbourhoods which could prove helpful to others on this forum:

As you mentioned Malasana and La Latina do sound very good, as well as Arguelles, Moncloa and Retiro.

Thanks once again!

Hey,

Glad you are making progress.  Max 500 euros to share an apt should be able to get you something more than decent.  Argüelles and Moncloa are good areas too.  I actually live in Retiro area and love it.  There are young people who live here and it's a great neighborhood, but it doesn't have the university student feel that you might be looking for.  Still I recommend it too as another option.  In terms of getting to college in Getafe, other ideas might be Pacifico or Embajadores.  Both are near the Atocha train station.

Good luck
