Hello,
I am planning on moving to Sicily from the USA and would like to rent an apartment for one year initially. If you are a real estate agent or you know of one who can find me an apartment near the shores of the sea, please contact me.
Kind regards,

The pie chart info is inaccurate….according to the list a one bedroom apartment t rent is 562.50 euro/ month and net income is 1316.67….so rent would be 42.7% of income not 18.8% as shown in pie chart that is a HUGEdifference . If the pie chart is based on a double income model…then it should say so!
