Hi, Here is a quick reply: - safety: safer than major European and American cities - housing: expensive (around $1000 per month) ; popular areas for expats are Achrafieh and especially Mar Michael area (artistic area with a lot of bars). U need a good real estate broker ; maybe u can share an apartment with other expats, I know some people who did this -
