What do I need to know before moving to Madrid?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Madrid, they said...
"You can get much cheaper and larger apartments outside of the center of the city (duh). I do like where I live simply because I don't have to go anywhere to have fun. I'm 10 min away from the central tourist/party area of Sol. I live 2 minutes away from a metro stop and have literary hundreds of club and bars outside my doorstep. With all of this I hear no sounds at night since my apartment window faces inwards," wrote a member who made the move to Madrid, Spain.
