Hello! Has anyone tried staying in an apartment or house for the short stay during Medical and Interview schedule? I know there are a lot of these all over the area but a recommendation is highly appreciated. We're kind of tight in the budget with all the travel expenses and soon plane ticket fare. It's not just me by the way, I have three companions too. Please give me the contact # so I can get in touch with them. Thanks!!!

Are you familiar with the area along mabini st., particularly san andres to u. n. avenue? I could recommend a place for you that is safer and affordable. You can choose a room with aircon or a ceiling fan. There is a catch though, only women can be accepted there cause its a dormitory manage by nuns. I have lived there myself for the past six years while I was working in Makati and they accept transients. Its 5-10 minutes of jeepney ride to get to SLEC and US embassy. You will not be lost because you can read the street signs on every street. I will help you with the directions if ever you choose this option.

There is a hotel near SLEC, its Cheery Blossoms Hotel but I could not afford their rates on a long term basis so I choosed Adriatico Pension Inn. Just in front of Robinsons Manila. Their rate is P1206 with breakfast for 2, hot shower, tv with cable and aircon. Good for 2 persons only but if there will be 3 of you, you will have to add P200 or P300(i'm not sure about the exact price but its in between those two) for the other person to be included in the room and breakfast. From the inn, i have to walk along adriatico street to j. bocobo st. to get to SLEC.

There is also another room that is cheaper at Adriatico Pension Inn. It costs P800 for 2 persons. The amenities are the same from the one I mentioned above except for the private bathroom. You will have to use the bathroom along the hallway.
