I am a student that will be working as an intern in Santo Domingo. I am having trouble finding resources to rent a studio/room/etc. in Santo Domingo at less than hotel rates...I know they are out there - where? How? Thanks!

Yes it is really expensive but that?s because of the nice neighborhood and because of our dear clown Hipolito, now most apartments are paid in US$! It also depends how you plan to travel around the city, if you don?t mind having to take public transportation than you can look in ?cheaper neighborhoods? or another option, depending on how long you are here for, would be to rent a room in a family home. For example, I?m on the opposite side of the city and paying ?a big? $7000 pesos (around 145 US$) a month for a 2 bedroom?with a huge garden, ok the neighborhood is not as ?glamorous? as Gazcue but it?s safe! And BTW there are 2 empty apartments (8000 and 7000 pesos)! :nervous:
