Wishful thinking in Marbella?
 

I'm new to this so hello everyone!!!

My names Kirstie, I'm 22 years old and I live in England. I work as a sales executive for an insurance broker.

This is going to be a real long shot but I'm moving to San Pedro, Marbella on 3rd April 2015 permanently and I'm going to need a room for a month or so just to get myself settled and somewhere to rent. I certainly won't become a squatter or anything and will definitely pay my way. Do any of you know anywhere I can stay or anyone that will have a possible room to rent? The reason I am asking so early is so I can get to know the person/people I am staying with.

Or if someone has a 2 bedroom apartment for rent, that allows 1 small dog as I'm hoping to bring my dog over once I've got settled, that would be fantastic too!

If anyone of you can help it would be amazing!!

Thanks :)

You'll have a heck of a job renting a room if you're bringing a dog with you....and TBH with what some people ask for room rent you'd be better off looking for a small, cheap apartment....try www.idealista.com

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I won't be bringing my dog straight over, that's only when I have my own place but I need to stay somewhere to get everything sorted and thanks for the advice :)

I think it is a bit early to be looking for rentals for 2015.

There are a lot of villa owners there who have converted their basements into self-contained apartments which would suit you. A lot seems to be by word of mouth.
