Finding an apt in cebu

10 years ago

Hi, I've now been four days in Cebu.

Since I was shocked by what I saw when I first went to Manila, I came to Cebu to use it as a home base instead.

From here I would like to explore other areas, that experienced people like you may suggest, like maybe,Palawan etc.
Which ever you think is more upscale, uncrowded.

I would like to find an apt to move out of the hotel/pension scene.
I'm staying in the capitol/La Fuente Robinsons mall area.

it's not to bad compared to other areas I've visited in Cebu. If there are cleaner, more middle class areas please let me know.

I'm looking for help finding apt so I suppose a rental agent or two would be a good idea.
So please tell me if you know of a good one, asap!

If you know of other areas that are a bit more upscale it would be helpful.

But I do want to be walking distance to shopping areas,malls etc.

I say that because I went to the Mactan by the water condos, and the view was nice but you had to take a cab every time you went out and they were asking 50,000p per month, which defeats one of the big reasons to move out here in the first place.

In the south of France you can get an apt for 400-500 Euros. I was just in several countries in southern Europe

On another topic is Thailand as ruff looking as this?
What about Cambodia and Malaysia?
Just in case anyone knows...

Please, a rental agent or apt place I can check out,

THANKS!!!
