Washingtonian Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I am an American Lawyer/Businessman with a small four person office in Cebu. I live in Shanghai most of the time, but I am in Cebu almost every month for about a week. I want to find a Furnished Studio or One Bedroom Apartment near Ayala Mall. My Budget is 15,000 to 25,000. My requirements are Furnished, Small, with TV and Cable Access/Hookup. Any suggestions about where and maybe even the name of the complex would be grealy appreciated. I need small (the newer the better) as I am the only one. Thanks,Washingtonian. Edited January 22, 2011 by Washingtonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks,Washingtonian.Hi there,it's difficult for anybody to recommend to people as yourself because options are many and not all are aware of them.Without stating the 'bleeding obvious'..try cebu classifieds,gumtree and the ads section in the Sunstar newspaper. But as always, be careful as to rent cost....some state it some don't. I rented a place for a while in Cebu from the sunstar paper ads..it stated 9,000 per month. I got there...and told it 10,000 per month...that was from mother of owner....the owner in Bohol at time. When owner returned we had conversation...and it reverted to 9,000. She said her mother made mistake..hhhmmm.Just be careful.....they will rob you at any opportunity...and that is so disappointing when you have been brought up to be honest and suffer such shxt.

I need small (the newer the better) as I am the only one. Thanks,Washingtonian.When I was a partner in a tourism business in Cebu City, our office was at the corner of Tojong and C. Rosal Sts, in Kamputhaw. It used to take me 7 minutes to walk from the office to the Gaisano Department store entrance at Ayala Mall.Across the road, on the other corner, was the Marison Condominiums. I always thought I would like to stay there. Only trouble was, they wanted a 1 year contract and I didn't want to commit for a year. They have studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and when I was checking them out, they would provide the furniture if you wanted. In 2006, studio apartments started at P9000 per month, plus utilities. No idea of the cost now.Here is an external picture I took of the building in 2006 If the picture makes the street look quiet, that is because it is, The main traffic on C. Rosal Street is cars trying to bypass the major intersection at the corner of Gorordo and Escario.The surrounding area is mosly well to do Filipino residential housing behind high hollowblock walls.Regards; Jim Sibbick Edited January 23, 2011 by Jim Sibbick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
