No, it is not difficult. However, a little bit harder than in Girona or Barcelona. Good accommodation disappears instantly. If you are going to live in Reus, then, be quick do not postpone your deal on a next day. I think it happens because of small town. Concerning saving financials then you can share a flat or even a room to save the money. It works with couples. You also may gather with friends to rent a flat it would be more easier and cheaper. If you are going to look for a flat by yourself then you might get into difficulties.
