first days in spain and the hassle to find a nice room

i finally arrived in Madrid, where I was recieved very nicely by the spanish MC people. So now I can stay in their place for the first few days, be in their office and try to speak spanish with them. This is really nice, as I need Internet all the times to organize all these very anoying things such as a flat, spanish classes, my university classes and so on. This actually means that I did not have that much time so far to have a look around the city and enjoy the nice weather.
Anyways, tonight we are going out with some of the interns and other AIESEC people. But before I still need to go and have a look at the next flat. Actually I never thought that it's so anoying to look for a flat. So let me tell you some things about my experiences with flats.
1. They are all very expensive.
2. Even if you check online and contact the ad that just went online 10 minutes ago, you can be sure that there were already 30 other persons that had a look at this offer before you.
3. If you call them or send a mail you can be sure that they don't pick up the phone.
4. Even if you visit a room for 450 Euros, it might be very small, not having windows etc.
So the thing we learn from this is. Quantity is more important than quality in that case as you can not check quality anyways.
So I keep on checking all these nice websites as segundamano, loquo, idealista and all the others.
So I need to leave. don't want to be late for the next visit in a flat. And I will keep you updated on what is happening here.
