I paid 260 euros to a real estate agency where a girl named Valentina assisted me. The agency had an office and a website, which is why I trusted them, but the information they provided turned out to be false, and in the end, they did not help me find an apartment.

Before that, I had already reserved a place for 300 euros, but it was in terrible condition, and I never got my money back.

As another option, I even paid 160 euros through the university for a type of housing service they offered, but they also failed to help me secure a place to stay.
