Student housing in Florence.

First, you have to decide your budget. This might need a little effort and patience: it can be a little annoying finding out if you can afford your experience abroad, where you can live, the type of housing solution you could choose. When you deal with the budget you have to consider: cost of the room or flat, cost of living (flat bills, living expenses such as grocery, food, etc.), the public transport and many other details.

Which is the perfect time to get your accommodation? Your flat hunting can be an early one or  a last minute booking. 

1. If you are used to carefully plan all the details, then it’s better to start looking for your accommodation at least 4 months in advance, so that you’ll get the best housing option. But we warn you that you will probably have to pay the rent even for the short period before your arrival, to make sure you get the place.
2. If you prefer taking your time, just relax and start your research one month before the arrival. Our cities are lively, dynamic and people often move, consequently you will be able to find an accommodation. But you should know that at that point, you may find difficulties to find the ideal place. 

If you are looking for dynamic neighbourhoods, then we suggest you to live in the central areas of the city. There are so many great things about that: monuments and cultural points, shopping routes, many dining spots and the pros of being close to all the comforts. But don’t forget about the noise, that’s why we suggest you a non-touristy neighbourhood, if you are a calm and quiet person that would rather avoid crowded places! 

Furthermore, other things you should keep in mind while you’re choosing the area: the transportation, the closeness to your university or workplace, to supermarkets and anything else you need!

The price of the rooms for rent in Florence generally varies also depending on the location: many flats have both exterior and interior rooms. If you seek a bright room, than the exterior ones are the best choice (and they may also have a beautiful view on the street), but if you’d rather live in a quiet and peaceful accommodation, our suggestion is to pick interior.

Everyone loves living in a well furnished and cosy flat! 

While you are looking for your new accommodation, there will be several types: from totally empty spaces to the completely equipped ones.

The flats of helpHousing are stylish and all furnished and our rooms have everything you need.

While choosing the housing solution where to live in Florence, you should be careful: rent a room or a flat that won’t cause you many issues! The problems you could encounter are: issues about the door locks, the boiler or the bathroom pipes...and many others. Being a foreigner in Italy means that you could also have some language misunderstandings, or you might run into difficulties to know how much is the cost of the service.

We strive for our customer care, that’s why the maintenance is included for free in the services we offer, so that our clients have nothing to worry about.

One more important thing you should think about is the inclusion of the costs in your room rental budget. Many of the housing solutions exclude costs from the basic price of the room or apartment. Whatever you are going to choose, remember that managing expenses and bills is easier with us: you have your own online account where we keep you informed about everything.
