Your bestie in Madrid. So the move is the easy part.
We help English-speaking women land soft in Spain. Apartments, NIE, padron, bank account — the whole mess. On WhatsApp, in your language, without losing your mind.
Moving to Spain alone is one of the best things you'll do. And one of the most chaotic.
You're moving for the job. Or the breakup. Or just because you needed out.
You don't speak Spanish yet. You can't visit the flat before sending €2,000 to a stranger. You've heard the rental scam stories that target foreigners. You're not sure if you need an NIE, a TIE, or both. The bank told you to come back with a document you've never heard of.
You'll cry in a Carrefour at 11pm trying to set up internet. Not if. When.
We get it. We've been you. That's why this exists.
There's a softer way to land in Spain.
We built it.
We handle the chaos. You handle the flight.
Find your flat
We search the listings you can't read, video-tour the ones worth seeing, verify the landlord is real, negotiate the lease in Spanish. No deposits to strangers. No "verified" scams.
Get your NIE
We book the appointment (basically impossible to get alone), prep the paperwork, walk you through the day. In 3–5 days, not 3 months.
Padron, bank, utilities
All the boring stuff that takes weeks to figure out alone. In the right order, with the right documents, with you on WhatsApp the whole time.

"I almost wired €1,800 to a 'landlord' for a flat that turned out to be a complete scam. Same photos listed on three sites under three names. I sent it to the besties before paying and they flagged it in about ten minutes. That alone paid for the package."
Three packages. No upsells. No surprises.
Pay 50% to start, 50% when we deliver. That's it. No hidden fees, no "actually that's extra," no surprises at the end.

"The corporate firm my company suggested quoted over €5k and the intake form felt like doing taxes. Found these instead. Five flats, all in neighbourhoods that actually matched what I asked for. I'm in Chamberí now and I love it here."
"I moved here after my marriage ended and I was not in any state to fight Spanish bureaucracy on top of everything else. They negotiated my lease in Spanish, somehow got me two months free. The welcome basket when I landed made me cry a bit, not gonna lie."
"I did the VIP for the legal review on my lease and the tax setup, because I'm self-employed and Spanish tax genuinely terrified me. They put me with a gestor who actually speaks English. Six months in and I still message them when I'm confused."
"Real talk, I was nervous about paying upfront for something I couldn't hold in my hand, but the 50/50 split made it feel safe. Found me a studio in Lavapiés, handled the NIE and the bank account I'd tried to open myself and got rejected twice. No regrets."
From "I'm thinking about it" to "I live here now."
Roughly 6 weeks.

We started Bestie Madrid because we lived it.
Moving to Madrid as a foreign woman is one of the best decisions you'll ever make and one of the most chaotic. The corporate firms cost €5,000 and treat you like an HR file. The free platforms have 1.4-star ratings and disappear when something goes wrong.
There was nothing in the middle. Nothing for girls like us.
So we built it. We're a small, women-run team based in Madrid. We do this because we wish someone had done it for us.
— Bestie Madrid
Read why we built this →You're probably wondering.
Is this legit? Why should I trust you?
Because we're real women in Madrid who did exactly what you're about to do. We're small on purpose — 4 clients per month, max — so we can actually be your bestie. You can WhatsApp us before paying anything and ask whatever you want.
What if you can't find me a flat I love?
We restart the search, no extra charge. We keep going until you're in a flat you're genuinely happy with.
Do you actually work in Marbella and Costa del Sol?
Yes. We started in Madrid because we live there, but we cover Marbella, Estepona, Málaga, and the rest of the Costa del Sol. The packages are the same. The chaos is just sunnier.
What if my move date changes?
Tell us, we adjust. Life happens. As long as you give us 30 days notice, we'll move the timeline without extra fees.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Default is 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. If you need to split into 3 or 4 payments, just ask. We're chill about it.
Slide into our DMs.
The easiest way to start. WhatsApp us with whatever's on your mind — even if it's just "I'm thinking about Madrid in 6 months." We're chill.
