Hello all-
I recently accepted a year long teaching position in Denpasar and would like to live in the Sanur area. I have done extensive research on the web as well as picking through this entire forum, and haven't found too much useful information. Since I will be here for at least 1 year, I would like to get out of the homestays and hotels, and find a place where I can actually unpack my bag and keep it that way. I was curious as to if anyone had information as far as where to go to find AFFORDABLE housing? From what I gather, I think you typically want to avoid the agents. But all the listings I am finding online are for much higher prices than I can afford on a teachers salary. I have $2000 US, maybe a little more to get started. I have heard stories of people finding small houses for $1000 per year, but I don't know if this is fact or fiction or just dumb luck :lol: Ideally, I would like to find a small, furnished, 1 or 2 bedroom house that fall within that price range. Otherwise, I suppose I could do an apartment if it is nice enough, but I know the nicer they are, the more pricey they will be. But I would like to try and avoid apartment living at all cost if possible.
As always, thanks for any information!!
