What advice to expats in Cadiz have about housing?

"Expats in Cadiz, advise that it's essential to research the different neighborhoods in the city before deciding where to live. They suggest that the old town is a charming area with narrow streets and traditional architecture, but it can be noisy, especially during the carnival season. They also recommend considering the modern part of the city, which offers more spacious apartments and is closer to the beach. Expats suggest using local real estate agents or websites to find housing, as they often have the best selection of available properties. They also advise negotiating the rental price, as it's common practice in Spain. It's also important to understand the terms of the lease agreement, including the length of the lease and the notice period. Expats also suggest checking the condition of the apartment before moving in, including the plumbing, electricity, and appliances, to avoid any issues later on. They also recommend asking about the heating system, as winters in Cadiz can be chilly and not all apartments have central heating. Finally, expats in Cadiz advise getting a NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) as soon as possible, as it's required for many things in Spain, including renting an apartment," said another expat in Cadiz, Spain.
