How much does it cost to live in Valencia?

It depends of course. You can make it for 400 euro per month. Cause its easy to find a flat for around 180 euro per month. But then it depends on how much you are gonna spend for food, alcohol and travelling.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Valencia? Is there any advice you can give?

There is no problem with it. However you need to be careful cause there are loads of people that do not play fair. Cause they know that there are many international students in the city that have no clue about flat prices, that's why they offer higher prices.

You should use facebook website "accommodation valencia" and other websites. There are many of them.
