Tips for renting a room in Rome as an Erasmus student

Book ahead: The best Erasmus rooms in Rome are booked 3-4 months in advance. For the September semester, search in May-June. For February, in October-November.
Check public transport: Rome is a large city — make sure your accommodation has a good metro or bus connection to your faculty.
Check what's included in the rent: In winter, heating can be a significant cost. Filter by "Bills included" to avoid surprises.
Be wary of prices that are too good to be true: If the price is much lower than the area average, it could be a scam.
Required documents: Passport/ID, university enrolment letter, European IBAN and security deposit (usually 2-3 months).
