Hi,
I'm a 30 yo Aussie bloke looking to stay in the Philippines for six months, to a year. I've been looking at rentals on the Internet and can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to rental prices. I've been looking on airbnb and Craigslist. You either get a small studio for nothing or a decent place for 100k+... Am I missing something?
I've been looking into Makati, pasay and angelesecitty (only because I have a number of friends living here,but it's my least preferred). My main criteria is that the area is safe and it's close-ish to a malls. I'm not overly picky with location but more picky about how modern/clean the apartment is and that its furnished with at least a queen (I'm 6'5 120kg)
Are there any secrets to searching? I don't want to leave it all to the last minute. I've allowed 3 weeks in a hotel so I can actually book times to inspect. Sorry if this has been asked before.
