Pied-a-terre in Rome

[sara li]

I would like to rent an apartment in Rome for use as a pied-a-terre. I
plan to use it for one person beginning in September and my use will be
about two weeks every six to eight weeks. I Googled for apartments in
Rome but all I get are short term rentals for tourists. Can anyone
recommend a good English speaking broker in Rome who can help?

My main preference is near any metro stop; a studio apartment, a sublet
or even a shared arrangement with someone who has an extra bedroom would
be fine. I will only leave a small amount of clothes and toiletries
there between visits. Thanks!

renting one week for tourists is often as costly as renting 1 month a flat
for locals

consider to rent for a longer period

I will be coming for two weeks EVERY 6 to 8 weeks so, yes, the term will
be long, at least 9 months to a year. After the end of the lease I will
probably buy an apartment but first I must learn about the city to
choose my favorite location to live.

My experiences of buying a property in France are that the best way is to
visit the place you are interested in and walk around the estate agents,
seeing what they have to offer. I wouldn't even try online were I buying
again.
