      <title>Looking for a place to stay in Spain this summer, mid short term rental</title>
      <link>http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/12826/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/12826/#When:03:51:34Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi I&#8217;m from Switzerland (33) and I would like to move to Spain for this summer together with my wife.&lt;br /&gt;
The place can be a villa, a bungalow, an apparment anywhere on the mainland of Spain or on Mallorca. I&#8217;ll provide a short list of what I want, so you dont waste your time unneccesarily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the mandatory qualitities i&#8217;m looking for:&lt;br /&gt;
1. rental beginning in june or july ending in september/octobre (or as long the sea water is warm enough to go swimming) &#45; it&#8217;s somewhat negotionable (the beginning aswell)&lt;br /&gt;
2. 1 Bedroom with 1 big bed is enough (it&#8217;s ok if there is another bedroom, it&#8217;s just that I don&#8217;t care &#45; so it would be only a minor plus)&lt;br /&gt;
3. the rent should be between 300 to 750 CHF, that&#8217;s about 250 to 600 euros with no large additional costs.&lt;br /&gt;
4. it should be a quiet place. No permanent street noise or any other permanent noises (nomore than 60db). This is very important to me. &lt;br /&gt;
5. the place should either have internet access by itself or should be in an area covered by an internet mobile provider with a connection fast enough to make stable calls over IP (i need this for business, so that&#8217;s important aswell). An alternative would be a nice place not too far, which has solid internet access and where I could hang out all day long, if I have to work on some days (10&#45;12days per month, mo &#45; fr, from 8am to 17pm)&lt;br /&gt;
6. it should be close enough to the beach, so I can reach it by foot in no more than 30min walk.&lt;br /&gt;
7. it must be a clean place; i intend to leave it this way (f.e. no cockroaches, not meaning to be offensive &#45; just saying) and the area has to be okay aswell&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;optional stuff I&#8217;m looking for&lt;br /&gt;
1. the closer to the sea, the better&lt;br /&gt;
2. airport reachable by bus or train &#45; or if it&#8217;s reasonably close by taxi. Me and/or my wife have to fly within in Europe from time to time. And the possibility to reach the airport by bus or train, would make us more flexible (please include what options there are in your offer)&lt;br /&gt;
3. A pool would be plus, but only if it&#8217;s clean (else I don&#8217;t care)&lt;br /&gt;
4. a nice veranda and/or garden would be nice&#8230; (that&#8217;s rather important)&lt;br /&gt;
5. please point me to a video or pictures, so I can have a look at the object.&lt;br /&gt;
6. I would prefer a lonely neighbourhood. So a bungalow or villa would be better than an apartment &#45; but this really depends on the overall picture.&lt;br /&gt;
7. a supermarket reachable by foot would be a plus.&lt;br /&gt;
8. a nice town with a nice harbor and restaurants would be a major plus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PM me or post here. I will watch my PM&#8217;s and check this post for the next 2 weeks except if a find an object sooner of course. Please only PM me if you have a usefull tipp or have an object that meets all criteria of the mandatory list. Thanks for your time.

      <title>In a bit of a mess</title>
      <link>http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/12822/</link>
      <guid>http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/12822/#When:13:08:21Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi we relied upon a Spanish/UK agency on the Costa Blanca to find a villa with the villa being sounded out by Spain based family and friends.&amp;nbsp; The Spanish contract was translated by the agent but not to a high standard and we now find that what we thought was going to be &#8216;in&#8217; the villa is not going to be &#8216;in&#8217; the villa. These are not minor omissions but deal with a/c and the number of units that sort of thing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are now going to give notice and will be out of here within two months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hence we are looking for a villa in or near Moraira or Javea have first class references etc etc.&amp;nbsp; Has to have a garden will accept well behaved pets and a pool and full a/c please.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;best wishes
&lt;/p&gt;</description>
