Which agency I have to contact to rent a flat in CR?

Hello!
If you want to keep your rent low, do not go through an agency.  Your best bet is to come to the city/neighborhood you want to live in, stay in a B&B or hostel, and walk around looking for a place.  Look for fliers on telephone poles, at grocery stores, internet cafes, and utility (ICE or AYA) offices.  Also, pick up a copy of La Nacion, a newspaper, and look in the classified section.  You will probably find something w/in a week, especially if you have a good idea of what you want for how much.  Keep in mind that "unfurnished" means no kitchen appliances, and perhaps no counters either - just a sink in most cases.  You can see what we did in several instances here (you may have to skip a couple that aren't completely relevant): http://julieandrickincostarica.blogspot … label/home

As for what city, you can see our take on several (we moved around a bit before landing) on my blog - look for a city label in the right column.  San José is expensive, as are Escazú and Santa Ana on the west, and Curridabat on the east.  Alajuela and Heredia are more reasonable for large cities, and Orosi is nice for a small town. There are many reasons people choose their city, including rent, weather, medical availability, internet access, and activities.
good luck!
