bobba Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Hi, Is such a thing possible to find? Any recommendations? I'm currently in Legazpi but would like to go to Masbate for a month from the 21st May. Girlfriend lives there and has to return for work. I usually use Airbnb to find apartments when travelling but apparently there is nothing in Masbate and I'm at a loss. I have thought about getting a hotel for a month but have a problem that I am vegetarian and really need to be able to cook my own food. at this rate I may have to return to my home in UK while I figure out places to stay (or she finds and furnishes me a long term rental or something). But I don't much want to leave yet. any advice appreciated, I'm totally new to the Philippines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysRt Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Get a hotel room for a couple days while you look. A smaller 'Mom and Pop' hotel may let you use the kitchen. Staying vegetarian here shouldn't be too difficult, especially if just a couple days while looking for something suitable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobba Posted May 10, 2017 Author Posted May 10, 2017 Thanks, Is it likely that I will find actual fully furnished apartments when looking on foot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on a tricycle, preferably a driver who knows the area and speaks English. Hire him for half a day or more, feed him lunch and tip him when you find a suitable place. Good luck to you sir! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Reboot Posted May 10, 2017 Popular Post Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Very general advice here. I am disappointed. I thought this board was full of expert Masbaters. Edited May 10, 2017 by Reboot 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
