Searching for Accommodations in Manila

Yes, people. I am looking for a nice accommodation in Manila and I'm having a hard time finding the right place for us. I did searches on different websites already and one way or another the units doesn't seem to suit us. Why? Let me tell you first what we want in the unit were looking for.

First, we are looking for an apartment or a condominium unit that would suit our needs or requirements. The unit should be furnished with fridge, tv, aircon, kitchens supplies, bed and all that carry on. A studio type or 1 bedroom unit will suit us.

Secondly, The BUDGET! Since we will be in the Philippines for a long time, budget is one of our major consideration. We're not on a spending spree here you know so were working on a tight budget. It's between 15K to 20K per month and if we can find one that would suit our requirements in a minimum price, we will be very delighted.

Third, the LOCATION. We prefer the place to be near Ortigas Center or the nearby area with an easy access to the MRT Line.

Fourth, the AMENITIES. To be honest, we will spend the whole time in Manila shopping or loitering in the malls so we prefer the place to have amenities. A swimming pool will be nice. A tennis court will also be ideal. And a kids playground is an added bonus as I have a little baby age 18 months who loves to go in the slides.

Fifth, the DURATION. We are only staying for 2 months starting the 5th of March until the 5th of May.

So thats the things we are taking into account in finding accomodations in Manila. I have said earlier that it seems the unit we found doesn't suit us one way or another. One example is that one unit fits the budget, the amenities, and the facilities but the location is way too far away from the area we mentioned. Another example is that the price, the location and the amenities is right but the unit is not furnished. And many more examples I'm pretty sure you wouldnt care to listen at all!

Anyway, the reason I'm writing this blog is that I'm hoping that whoever reads this can recommend to us the unit that would suit what I had mentioned earlier. And hopefully that will be granted in time for our stay in Manila.

So help us God!
