Where I can rent a house?

Hi Valindarose,

Will you be working in Banjul? if so do you want to live in the same area as you work?  Depends on your likes and dislikes and whether you will have transport.  There are areas where it is quieter in the country but further from Banjul (45 Minute drive) and also areas where it is more lively and easier to get to restaurants/bars and only 20 minutes drive from Banjul.

Hello I'm very sorry that I am late for your reply . But I am still interested in renting a house two bedroom. I will not be working I am a retired disabled teacher. I am looking for housing***** I Plan to live there in Gambia. I do prefer kind of a quiet place not as noisy as Serekunta.So if you can please please please let me know. Thank you

Get here get a guest house room then check the local agents book from away you don't see what you got and will be ripped off.

Hi,

There are many areas that are nice and quiet, but I suppose it depends on whether you plan to drive out there. 

You can get in touch and I can show you areas and properties/land which you may be interested in.

Thanks

Late update - I am researching alternative ways for finding accommodation, a room and polar, apartment, compound. The usual process comes with hassles that put the renter at risks because the agent/middlemen are not transparent. Furthermore, the value is low for the cost and hassles to rent. Then after renting, poor security, extreme poverty, and a very young and unemployed population increase risks to the renter and their personal belongings. Owners and agents are not informing people about risks, the issues renters could face, and there are reports that owners do not respond to routine maintenance issues. Guesthouses might be an option. However, I rented two times. One for a few days; it was unsanitary, while the other i used for storage because it was also filthy. Please reply here so I can update you with information that might help you find accommodation.
