Frankly, staying in a hotel would be nice - someone cleans up after you, there's 24/7 room service, and if you are feeling lazy, someone does the laundry for you for a fee. For these creature comforts, your money won't last long. If you rent a two-bedroom apartment, you can share the apartment to stretch your monthly budget. The extra money can go to other important school and living expenses.
The Holiday Apartments
Holiday apartments for rent are all over the city and some are situated in metro neighborhoods and quaint quiet streets. As apartments go, these are fully equipped with everything you need for convenience. Still there are cheaper apartments if you are open to the idea of apartments with Spartan arrangements. You can survive with a nice bed and bath without the luxury of balconies and a view. What matters is renting an apartment within the university area or close to it.
These apartments are rented out by business conglomerates or private individuals. These could be spanking new buildings or renovated old building and homes. A typical luxury apartment has a kitchen or kitchenette, coffee and tea makers, washer with dryer, WIFI, TV and DVD, phone, and a private bathroom. There is also a smoking area.
