Yes. Renting a spacious apartment is a beter way than a cramped hotel for sure, especially for groups, families etc. Taj Wellington mews in cooperage-colaba , marriott enclave in the suburbs and Bombay Luxury Apartments in colaba causeway offer extended stays (usually 2 weeks or more). Rates vary from Rs. 5000 to Rs. 14000 (like Taj's)

!! Check them out in the hotel section of this very site.

This is for a decent 1BHK:

Colaba - 20,000 - 30,000/month
Churchgate/ Marine Lines/ Charni Road - 20,000 - 45,000/month
Kemps Corner/Worli - 40,000 - 85,000/month
Dadar/Shivaji Park - 25,000 - 50,000/month
Mahim - 20,000 - 30,000/month (but, you wouldn't want to stay here!)
Bandra/Khar - 35,000 - 60,000/month
Santacruz/ V Parle/ Andheri - 30,000 - over a lakh (because this is a hot fav. of the Bollywood stars(!))
Going further North is not advisable as it is total chaos.... Have fun hunting and yes, if you want to do it as a team, I'm ready!!!

You got a decent place for 20 - 30k in Colaba???????? and u quote santacruz/ vile parle at Rs 35k - 1 lac????!!!!

are u off ure rockers? I think it is vice-versa. And Andheri is a dump, especially andheri west. The stars , or rather starlets, live in east andheri, in lokhandwala or 7 bungalows. It is a crowded madhouse with narrow streeets and a chaotic mess. Max. u should pay for a 1 bedroom in this area is 25 - 45k, that too in a good building; or else u will be getting ripped off.Glad to help

Nino...
lokhandwala, seven bunglows etc are in andheri west...... andheri east is less posh than andheri west.

I am sure it was a slip of the pen

What's wrong with Mahim?? I may have to move there in a few weeks, is there something particularly bad about the place? Opinions?

Actually, rental prices in Colaba doesn't seem to expensive to be place in South Mumbay. Maybe i imagine it has something to do with the fact in Colaba houses are old? Or what else?

Most of Mahim is a downmarket area, except perhaps for areas just off Cadell road, between Dadar and Mahim.

The rest is quite overcrowded and noisy, and smelly near the creek. (Though off Cadell road can be smelly, too) Plus, it has been an area of some inter-religious tension in the past.

Bandra, just two km from Mahim, becomes upmarket!

If you are looking for Western standards you are in the wrong country dude .

Most of these areas are upmarket and good - but then again that is no guarantee that you would not have a slum in the neighbourhood or the road in front of your house is not not water logged .

Welcome to India

Just a small change. A few stars live at Andheri (west) the location is called Yari Road, very few big names at 7 Bungalows, A lot of TV personalities and a few stars at lokhandwala. The big start at Juhu scheme.

.Narrow streets? Not sure where those are.

TrinTrin · Feb 23rd, 2007, 20:15

Yeah thats absolutely all true. My current hotel has a really nice pool that overlooks a slum. Go figure.

Not if you have enough money!

But then, as you say, that only buy you so much distance from the slum or the flooded road.

Hy guys! I need a quick suggestion about a flat i'm considering to rent in Mumbay. I'm still in my home country (Italy) and i'm in contact by mail with a Western guy who is leaving his flat in Mumbay. The owner ask for 50000rps deposit and 15000 rps monthly for the rent. The apartment is at the 5th floor of a brand new building, 1 very small bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 very small kitchen and a living room and is close to Lilavati Hospital-Bandra West. No A/C, no hot water (tough this won't be a problem). What do you think? Should i stop it by sending a part of the deposit? Is it a fair price? What's your suggestion? Thanks for your precious time Max

p.s. While there i'll need Internet Connectivity. Will it be a big trouble to install it?

nayan · Feb 24th, 2007, 11:53

If its a furnished/part furnished place then you are getting a steal.
Even otherwise its very difficult to get a 1BHK(bedroom,hall,kitchen) below 10000-12000 in bandra west.

Internet connectivity is certainly not a problem...loads of options.
Paying deposit is customary too... usually its 2 months or 3 months rent.

Its good that you are getting the place from another expat... this way you wont have to pay any brokerage to any house agent.

amarshah · Feb 24th, 2007, 11:56

To give you an idea i let out a 900sq feet flat 2BHK with 2 bathrooms unfurnished at Rs 23k per month with a deposit for 2lac... at POWAI
