Rentals in Ethiopia...

I just returned from Addis, after a couple of weeks stay. I have made various visits in the last couple of years. Your budget of $1,500 USD a month for a house/aparment rental is more than sufficient. I am particularly familiar with the sub-division Ayat (about 10 - 15 minutes from the center of the city), you can get a large four bedroom/two bath house with a garden and gated compound for 4,000 to 6,000 Birr or $400 to $600 USD.
My husband and I are planning to make a move in the summer of 2009 and I was making inquires about such things during my recent visit. I may be able to put you in touch with the rental office there if you are interested. Speaking Amharic helps a great deal when negotiating such matters!

Dear Olympus, how far away from the International Airport are your flats? Are there good restaurants with western standards close by too? Are there washing machines and warm water available in your apartments too? How quiet is the area? How many square meters living space do your studio apartments have?
Are the toilets western sit downs or stand ups? Do the studio apartments have showers/bathtubs?
Thanks,
Driver Mike

Do you have any properties ? We'd like 2-3 bedroom, fully furnihsed with min 2 full bathrooms, security, and quiet community. Gated community best.
Please advise as to where in can get further info prior to arriving?
Thank you
MM

I have a house that can meet your requirement and the owner wants to rent it for a long time like one year.if you are able to pay around 1344 USD. call or email me if you are interested to know more about the house. Regards, Yoseph

I would like to see some photos if possible?

If other than Bole, for example, neighbouring Lafto, let me know. There could be self-contained (self-gated), two storied, houses, in secure locations.

Will ask the owner and get back to you.
