How do I find a place to live in Girona?

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

"To find a place to live in Girona, you can start by researching online on popular housing websites such as Idealista, Fotocasa, and Pisos.com. These websites allow you to filter your search based on location, budget, and type of accommodation. You can also join local Facebook groups dedicated to housing and rentals in Girona, where people often post available rooms or apartments. Another option is to visit local real estate agencies in Girona, where agents can help you find a suitable place based on your preferences and budget. They can also assist you with the necessary paperwork and legal requirements. Additionally, you can explore the city and look for "Se Alquila" (For Rent) signs on buildings, as some landlords prefer to advertise their properties directly. Don't hesitate to ask locals for recommendations, as they might know of available places that are not advertised online. Lastly, consider staying in a temporary accommodation such as a hotel, hostel, or Airbnb while you search for a more permanent place to live. This will give you the opportunity to explore different neighborhoods and get a feel for the city before committing to a long-term rental," said one expat in Girona.
