Whatever your reason for moving to the birthplace of the Renaissance, at this point, you’re probably asking yourself how to find an apartment.

Nestpick

You’re probably searching on multiple websites for your perfect apartment in Florence. But why waste time when you can find all apartments in one place? That’s right, Nestpick does just that – it’s a search aggregator for furnished flats (and we definitely recommend you check them out). So how does it work? It scans thousands of apartments across its partner websites and allows you to filter your search. Don’t worry, they make sure you only get the best selection of listings.

Airbnb

Airbnb is the go-to platform for vacation rentals and short-term stays. But it’s definitely proved it can pivot anytime it wants to adapt to its clients’ needs. We think it’s always a good idea to give them a try, plus, their long-term apartment listings have been growing. For those that aren’t accustomed to Airbnb already, renting your stay is quite easy and you get all the info you want on the homeowners, who are also ranked based on reviews. It’s a fabulous marketplace for short-term accommodations including apartments, homestays, hotel rooms and more!


Trovit

Trovit is another search aggregator for apartments in Italy and is used by many locals. The downside is that it’s only available in Italian, but simply copy and paste the link in Google Translator to browse at ease. To find an apartment go on “Case” then “Case in Affitto” if you’re searching for an apartment/house, or “Stanze in Affitto” if you’re searching for a single room. The rest is pretty straight forward.

Roomgo

Maybe you’re not on the hunt for a whole apartment, maybe you just need a room to share with a few flatmates. If this is your case, we recommend you head to Roomgo – the world’s biggest flat-sharing community. Since 1999, their service has enabled the sharing of more than 5 million accommodations worldwide. All you have to do is sign up to Roomgo and create your own profile before you browse available rooms. Another plus is their online community, which make finding your potential flatmates easier.
