I always stay at the Tune Hotel in Mabini Street Ermita. Although I agree that it is very small, and works out expensive as I tend to stay for 2 months at a time, it is convenient for local shopping areas and nightlife. I would ideally wish to rent a furnished 1bd condo in the same area for maybe 6 months but whenever I have made enquiries about this I have been asked to pay crazy money. I do not know whether it is OK to ask this question in this section but if anyone can assist in pointing me in the right direction to rent a condo as described above I would be grateful. Have a good day everyone.
