Does anyone know if I can find a cheap apartment in Madrid from overseas? I am a woman in my fifties who has begun teaching English, in recent years. I've been assured, by a local academy, that I have a good chance of getting work in Madrid. However, they won't interview me unless I am already living there. I don't want to just arrive without having somewhere but I am currently living in Ireland. I had almost given up but want to give it one last attempt.
