Best option apartment, or hotel for 1-2 months?

[zethris 0]

Between traveling back and forth and the fees for the exams and final filing, and also because of religious obligation, my fiance really needs to be in manila for a month or two, or however long it might take after the final interview to recieve the visa and be ready to leave the country.

My question is, should we rent a furnished apartment, or a hotel room? It has to be in a nice area so she isn't too scared. She is willing to do it without a problem, but coming from bohol, manila is a big place.

Anyone know of any good places? max rent we can pay is $350/mo

I think renting a room/apartment would be much cheaper than staying in a Hotel room. It was about $40 a day for Claudeth and her Mom to stay at the Bayview.

A good ideal is for you to go to a local book store and look in the travel guides, and see what they have to offer, they have great maps and some hotels offer long term discounts, and there may even be some apartments avail.

i have a 2003 edition of lonely planet guide and i saw a few hotels that offer monthly rates, for anywhere from 24,000P - 45,000P of course these are 2003 prices.

I have this book also, I think from the same year. It has been a great help for me in planning my honeymoon after Fely and I get married in the Philippines soon. I recommend the book to anyone planning to spend some time in another country. It covers not only lodging, but food and entertainment, and more.
