Student apartments for rent in Genoa

The most comfortable option for many students is to find a rental apartment to live alone or share with other people. With this option you will have total freedom when entering, leaving, inviting someone home, etc. Besides, you can decorate the house to your liking, without having to ask anyone.

All are advantages, although it is true that it is an expensive option if you want to live alone, so we recommend that you look for roommates. The average rental price is usually around 1000 euros, a figure that can increase or decrease depending on the location and qualities of the accommodation.

The prices of student rental apartments in Genoa increase as we get closer to the city centre. It is logical if we think that we are going to locate ourselves in a privileged place, with all kinds of services within reach. If you are a university student, we recommend that you also value the distance to the University.

Student room for rent in Genoa

Your experience can be much cheaper if you choose to rent a student room in Genoa. You have options from € 200 per month in our search engine, although the average price in the city is usually around € 350. 

The Erasmus experience often involves living with people you did not know before, from other countries and with other cultures. It can be very enriching and a great way to practice languages. 

If this is not an inconvenience for you, you are facing the ideal accommodation. We recommend that you be quick when reserving your room in Genoa because the offer is not very wide and the best rooms are rented very quickly.

Student accommodation in Genoa

The location of the accommodation you choose in Genoa will be essential for your stay in the city. Everything will depend on what you are looking for, if you want to be closer to the centre, if you prefer more tranquillity in remote but well-connected areas or if you do not care about any of the above.

Taking all this into account, we want to offer you a series of ideal places to establish your residence in Genoa during the time you are going to study or work in Italy:

Apartments for rent in Porto Antico 

Porto Antico, or the Old Port, is located in the historic centre of the city. It has a lot of commerce around, the port is very close and the Genoa Brignole train station just a few minutes away. The rental apartments in Porto Antico are priced according to their location (city centre) but they make up for it with their advantages.

Apartments in Boccadasse 

One hour's walk from Porto Antico we have Boccadasse, a more secluded place from the bustling city centre, ideal for those looking for tranquillity. In summer this is a very popular area for its small beaches, ideal for a walk. The price here is somewhat cheaper than in the centre but the difference is not very high either.

Rooms for rent in Genoa Center

The historic centre of Genoa is made up of the Molo neighbourhood, which would be the medieval city, and the neighbourhood Maddalena, which corresponds to the Baroque neighbourhood. The influx of tourism is continuous, so the streets come alive, something that you can enjoy every day if you decide to rent a room in the centre of Genoa.

Erasmus accommodation in Piazza Principe

A good location close to the centre is Piazza Principe, as well as being cheaper than the city centre. It has a station nearby, so mobility by public transport is quite easy. You have all the services nearby and in a half-hour walk you can be in the historic centre of the city.

University residence for students in Genoa

Another option is to live in one of the student residences in Genoa. Generally, university residences have an application for places available and almost always the number of applications is usually greater than the offer, so you can run out of a room.

Many student residences include other additional services such as cleaning or dining room. Prices vary according to location, room characteristics and services included.
