coming to Santo Domingo - need place to live

simmons9 · #1 04-09-2002, 09:28 PM

Hey all - I am a 21 year old American student (male) coming to live in Santo Domingo for about 9-10 weeks this summer while I intern for the US Dept of Commerce. Any advice on where I should look to find an apartment and or hotel during that time? I would like a furnished one where I would not pay more than $500 US a month. Obviously, I would like to live in what is considered a "safe" area, and something near the US Embassy. Any other advice would be great, thanks in advance!

Hi,

I just went through the whole looking for housing thing. It really depends if you want your own apartment, a room in a dominican home, a hotel or what.

It's pretty easy to find an apartment looking in Listin Diario but you still have to have a fiador for almost everything. (unless you're willing to pay up front)

email me with specific questions and maybe I could help you.
