In love with the simplicity of the living room in the image. There is simplicity and stark. I currently live in stark aka empty. It seems ridiculous to invest in furniture and wall-coverings to make a home when this isn't the end game. We do have plants - that helps a little bit.

Thank you for putting this together. I am catching up from a busy week and missed a few. The duplex looks just amazing and simple. In the UK, they call it a loft.. living areas on the first floor, open stairs to the bedroom(s) on the second floor that usually have the roof line shaped ceilings. Then it is attached (multiple common walls), semi-detached (one common wall), and detached (stand alone house). I didn't mean to get carried away, I just love all the differences in language and meanings for things.

Whee, quite different from the North American definition indeed. I'd like to live in one of those too.

So is idealista.com one of the places you have been using to find a rental? Any others?

Yes. Also Fotocasa, which is pretty good. Idealista also has an Italian site. Not sure about where else. Both have scams and such but they provide a nice survey of the landscape and help people with finding a place when the time comes.
