I am looking to rent a room (in a flat or home) in Florence Italy. How can I do that from the U.S. ?

Question

I want to rent a room, maybe in a flat with Italian students or working professionals, for a month in June or July 2007. I want to arrange all of that from here in the states, without having to pay too much. I am a female in my 20's and I want to have an authentic cultural experience without paying too much. If you have any contacts in Florence Italy or in Rome Italy please feel free to respond. I would greatly appreciate any help and recommendations.

Thank you!!

Answer 1

Look online for Craigs list.  Go to the Italian cities and post an ad telling them what you want and when you want it.  I know there is a Craigs List for Rome and I know it is read by those in Florence.  There might be one in Florence by now.  That will work for you.  Florence is a nice city, the food is wonderful and

the people are friendly.  Of course the museums are among the best in the world. You'll have a great time.

well i do not know if this will help you but my sister went to Florence with a friend and stayed with a few people. she is college student and stayed the summer. (not for school but for fun) she used the website http://www.florencerooms.net/. good luck on going by yourself.
