
For students who wish to find apartments on their own, here is some basic
information about housing in Madrid:
In Madrid you will generally find three types of accommodation:
(i) Student Residence housing ( “Colegio Mayor” or “Residencia Universitaria”). These are
usually for undergraduate students between the ages of 18-22 and will require
that you show your transcripts and proof of enrolment. Most are located in the
Ciudad Universitaria and Moncloa neighborhoods close to the large public
universities, but others are located closer to the ESE Madrid Campus. The majority
are women or men-only dormitories, but there are some co-ed.
Student Residences in the Barrio de Salamanca: http://www.qype.es/es300madrid-barrio-de-salamanca/categories/530-residencias-universitarias-in-barriode-salamanca
(ii) Apartments for Rent. Students can rent an apartment by themselves or with another
classmate or roommate. Students will generally need some sort of bank guarantee
and security deposit.
(iii) Room for Rent. Students can rent a room in an apartment and share the common
areas with other flat mates.
 OTHER:
A good site for searching for apartments online is Alquiler Global
http://www.alquilerglobal.com/
As well as idealista http://idealista.com or fotocasa www.fotocasa.com
You may also find places to share with our current students. You can locate postings written
on the Student Activities board at ESE Madrid about available flats (usually single and double

In case of accommodation sites, there are many out there that are
fraudulent but there are certain things you can do to stay safe, of course, if
you are ever unsure you can ask us bus make sure you don´t pay any
money by Western Union, Ebay or PayPal, if anybody asks for you to pay
that way, don’t use them.
Do not deal with anybody who says they are away from the property and you can´t view it or
of somebody who wants you to pay courier fees to have a key delivered to you.
Once again please contact ESE Staff if you need more help finding accommodation for your
stay at ESE Madrid.
