How do I find a place to live in Turin?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Turin is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation in the city. Additionally, you can also search for rental listings in local newspapers and magazines. Additionally, you can also contact local real estate agents who can help you find a suitable place to live in Turin. Finally, you can also ask friends and family who live in the city for recommendations," said a member in Turin.

"We used a Relocation Agent I asked the company to hire. We looked at 15-16 apartments, most of which were terrible. Landlords rent the 4-walls and not much else. Painting, repairs, lighting and installing a kitchen is up to the tenant (Ikea is the most economical for kitchens). We have only 1 car, so it was important to be on/near a public transportation line (excellent, by the way) and close in to the city," explained one foreigner living in Torino, Italy.
