If you're not looking for anything too fancy, but in a considerably safe neighborhood (Bella Vista), I used to live in a 7000 pesos/month apartment there. A retired general has 5 studio/1 bedroom apartments on top of his house. They are prefurnished, all utilities paid, and they even have cable. They also have a landline set up for you with Codetel (my bill was about 500 pesos each month - the only bill that you have to pay). Their maintenance man is a family friend, and the retired general and the maintenance man fix anything that goes wrong fairly promptly. When I lived there, an American and her Dominican spouse lived in one apartment, and two other foreign couples lived in the other two apartments. The roof top served as a nice place to relax at night and enjoy the tranquil neighborhood. You'd be right by a grocery store (2 blocks - walking distance), public transporation routes, Bella Vista Mall, restaurants, etc. If you want to know more about it (address, person to contact, more details about amenities), PM me and I'll see if I can find the landlord's phone number. I'm sure I have it written down somewhere. Good luck in your apartment search.
