where to stay while you look for a place to stay

CaribeanGrl

I have given up on trying to arrange accomomdations from a distance...but now the problem becomes where to stay while I am trolling around Delhi looking for a PG or apartment. Naturally I don't want to invest too much money on a short term accomodation, and I can't really go to a hostel with 3 pieces of luggage and 2 carry ons so now this is a problem....

Anybody else overwhelmed by having to arrange for arrangements while you arrange?

This maybe stating the obvious but have you checked out craigslist, espatriates and yuni-net? On the last one you need to be a member though. If you let me know what areas you prefer I can post it to the forum there, and hopefully you would get some replies

how much is too much money.... some of the short term options might not be that expensive..

Hi...we had the same issue. At first we put up in a hotel (we had three carry ons and two big suitcases. We just stayed in a cheap hotel with bad food and good internet for being to make arrangements easier. However, it took us a few weeks and we did run through about $400 for 2.5 weeks. You can get cheaper rooms but then we heard about security issues.
We stayed in sector 15 of gurgaon and got a place in dlf-1 after wards, which took only 2 days to arrange after we found it.

So, it was like 4 days of looking and 2 days of waiting total (the rest of the time can be attributed to our lack of knowledge on where to find places). We ended up on 99acres (we paid a one month broker fee tho ).

Good luck and found your last line too funny and befitting how I felt when we first got here!
