House Hunters International Season 39 Episode 1 Seeking a New Life in Madrid

In this episode of House Hunters International, a couple from Kansas named Rachel and Tyler are seeking a new life in Madrid, Spain. They are both excited about the adventure of living abroad and want to fully immerse themselves in Spanish culture.

Rachel and Tyler have a budget of $400,000 and are looking for a three-bedroom apartment within the city center. They want to be close to all the action and be able to walk or bike to local markets, coffee shops, and parks.

Their first apartment viewing is a charming three-bedroom with a balcony that overlooks the city. The apartment has high ceilings, modern appliances, and a community pool. The location is perfect - close to restaurants and cafes, and a short walk to the metro station. However, the price is slightly over their budget at $425,000.

Next, they visit a spacious apartment in the trendy neighborhood of Malasaña. The apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a balcony. The neighborhood is known for its nightlife and bohemian vibe. The apartment is within walking distance to many of the city's attractions, including the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor. The price is within their budget at $385,000. However, the apartment needs some minor renovations, including updating the kitchen appliances.

Their final apartment viewing is a luxurious three-bedroom in the upscale neighborhood of Chamberí. The apartment is fully renovated with high-end finishes and a contemporary design. It also has a large terrace with views of the city. The building has a gym and 24-hour security. The location is convenient, near the metro station and a short walk to parks and restaurants. The only downside is that the price is well over their budget at $575,000.

Rachel and Tyler have a difficult decision to make. While they loved the first apartment and its location, it was slightly over their budget. The second apartment in Malasaña was within their budget and had a great location, but needed some work. The third apartment was their dream home, but too expensive. In the end, they decide to go with the second apartment because of its prime location and the potential to make it their own with some renovations.

Overall, this episode of House Hunters International showcases the challenges and excitement of moving to a new country. Rachel and Tyler had to weigh their options carefully and remember their budget, all while taking in the beauty and culture of Madrid.
