There are many accomodation options in Rome including an abundace of hotels
and hostels. For longer duration of stay, most real estate agents are experienced
in accomodating foreigners and non-residents. Alternatively, many Roman home
owners offer room and board extending their hospitality for reasonable fees.
Sublets and short and long term renting is possible without an intermediary
agent.
The best time to find affordable accomodation for longer stays tends to occur
around late August and early September, after the Christmas holidays and in
the pre-summer months. While many study abroad students are arriving in Rome
during these times, many are also leaving the city, consequently leaving behind
an excess of vacancies in or near the historic center.
Flatsharing
Not only is the practice of flatsharing affordable, practical and widespread
in Rome, but it also allows for the added benefits of cultural and social involvement
in the community. In Rome, it is common for people of all ages to flatshare.
Though associated with students, nowadays many professionals choose this alternative
form of accomodation.
For flatsharing, visit the Rome, Italy section on www.craigslist.com,
where renters seek out flatmates, or sublet rooms. Live with Italians! Visit
www.easystanza.it and
pay a small fee for a week or more of access to hundreds of ads. EasyStanza
tends to cater to students and offers many affordable solutions to accomodation
in Rome.
