danny, I know it might seem urgent right now that you find a place, but let me clue you in: first of all, you neednt live right next to UNIBE, you can live here in Gazcue and get there very easily by concho. While rents have increased around here, there are still apartments going for anywhere from 250 to 500 dollars, nice places, two bedrooms, and if you are on the palace circuit there are no problems with electricity. My advice is, dont worry so much about pinning something down from overseas. Come here, stay at the Esmeralda or a few other places and look around for a month. I guarantee you can find something. You can contact me if you like by email when you get here and maybe I can help a bit. But it is not hard.
