Hi! We are Cristina and Alberto from Spain, we are Erasmus students as well, and arrived to Cardiff a week ago. We found a flat to rent taking a look at gumtree.co.uk.

If your flat hunting takes a long time, give us a call and we can try to help you. Hope to meet you guys around! ;)

Good luck!

Staying with family or sharing a house is fine but they are more expensive than staying at the private hall.

Families and a private house charge separately for Internet, heating, gas, electricity, they don't offer insurance, neither 24hs security and they also take deposit.

Private halls like Victoria Hall don't take deposit, Internet, en-suite, electricity, heating, all the bills, insurance, 24hs security, maintenance are inclusive in the rent, plus you meet students from the same university and different nationalities’!

Hi, 

my friend and I are going to have an Erasmus internship in Cardiff, we are coming for 3 months and we're looking for a flat since 1 July till the end of September. I've seen some ads in the Internet but all of them are available for min 12 months. Do you think it's possible to find a room in a shared flat for 3 months only? Do you know anyone looking for flatmates? We would like to rent a double room or two single rooms, it would be best if we could live with other students. Thanks a lot if you can help us:)
