Barcelona and Madrid is more expensive

I had an apartment on calle Cadiz in russafa for 16 years. I sold it 2 years ago just before covid hit. Reason? If your bedrooms and balconies overlook the street be prepared for it to be noisy all night once all the covid restrictions have been lifted. Those outside bars and terraces attract stag/hen weekenders, office parties, drunk students etc. Not a party pooper but it can get on top of you, especially in summer when you want to leave the windows open!

I love your apartment! Especially the living room, it radiates such a creative and tranquil vibes :) So much inspiration!

Hey Ana, yes we were very lucky, the price also reflects that it was unfurnished, so we had to purchase everything except fridge and washing machine

Im assuming the price has at least doubled since the making of this video. I looked on Airbnb and you can't find even a shared room for less than $1,500 a month

What about taxes in Spain? These are extremely high (45% income tax and you do not need to be rich to have your income taxed with this rate). Living there makes sense only if it's less than 183 days a year.

Hi there I wanna know where you find this apartment. It’s really nice.could you please send me a link.
