Florence extended stay.

My daughter plans to study in Florence for a few months; any advice on reasonable rentals.(This will be some time between September and March.) Also, will we need any special papers for staying longer than a month? Thanks for any info.

She will need a student/education visa if staying longer than 90 days. Her school would be aware of the requirement and should have the necessary paper work.

The school will take care of the paperwork requirements. What is 'reasonable' to you? I'll give you the Florence average prices for rentals: - Shared apartments: single bedroom in apartment shared with other students range on avg from Euro 300 to 500 per bedroom per month. - Studio (one room only+small bathroom): Euro 400 to 1000 month - One bedroom (small): Euro 600 to 1300 The higher end price is for the historical center. Not much cheaper than Manhattan, I'm afraid. I think getting a bedroom in a bigger apartment shared with other students is the best option to stay within about 400-450 euro/month, even in the center. If the students are Italian she might get a chance to practice her language skills too. There are several websites where you can search. These are the most used by students. http://firenze.bakeca.it/ http://www.mioaffitto.it/ http://www.casa.it/affitti

Thank you so much. This is excellent information. The prices are more than reasonable and the websites will give us a great starting point for searching for an apartment. Once again, thank you.
