Renting a home for vacation in Cebu for two months?

[solotraveler21]

 

I can finally take a vacation from work, so I’m planning to go to Cebu, Philippines. I’ve been there before when I attended one of the international romance singles tours being held there, this will be my first time coming back. When I went there before it was only for a few days, but this time I want to stay for two months.

 

I’ll be going there in the summer since I read it’s the best time to visit. Since it’ll be a long time, I decided to rent out a house instead of staying in a hotel. It’s not that I’m being a cheapskate, it’s just that it’s a really big amount to spend. My worries though is that I might not get allowed to rent since I’m a foreign tourist.

 

This will going to be a solo vacation. I need advice regarding my accommodation. Can someone give me suggestions where to stay and what I’ll need? Any response will really be appreciated.

I stayed in the Philippines for a month in a rented accommodation.  What I saw was the real phil., there wasn t  a white man in a km I am sure and I was in the outskirts of Manila.   I stayed in a furnished apartment in a quiet baranguay.  I found it on craigslist short term rentals.

The trouble is the crime after dark, the oppressive poverty that can t be unseen and the quality of the food.  Very nice people and very willing women are the positives

There are a few pretty good value hotels near the centre of Cebu City. I would not rule them out and they may well do longer term rates.
