Accommodation cheap and nice, anyone have a magic wand.

Hi jgrant8165,

You can view the Manila classifieds > accommodation section and post an advert there as well.

I wish you good luck

Jeanne's sister has a place in Laguna that you might be able to use when in Manila, I'll have to check exactly where, if that helps. I'll check with Jeanne when she gets home tonight. I'll send you a msg. on FB when I know more, but keep looking at other options, just in case they're using it. Her husband is returning to RP in 2011, but should be living in Davao/Samal to develop their beach there.

A bit of advice I got from a friend as regards accommodation in the capital. Arrive store your luggage in somewhere safe (E.g. go to the mall and put it with their booth). Then walk around looking for the signs with places to rent, might take you half a day but its the way you will get the best deal. The cheapest places are often never advertised online.

Its going back to using your feet I suppose.

would recommend looking for a shared condo, I found a wonderful room to rent, all utilities, furnished for around $100 USD a month, had 4 offers in that, so there's some good acccomodations around very cheap, do a search on "shared condo", or "rooms for rent", manila and too, many of the local trade boards offer postings for rooms to rent, be aware, some not wish foreigners, others take time screening, but they are out there
