"Take some time and get to know the zones of the city in a preview trip if you can. Do what works for you... unlike the US, you are paying the rental agents at least a month's rent for their services, so call SEVERAL and see what each can find. Be very clear what you are looking to rent, and walk around in the area and call the numbers from the signs in the windows. Be wary of the "too good to be true" and "no renting agent" signs... if you don't speak the language fluently, you will be at risk if there are problems," remarked another expat in Valencia, Spain.
