October 2014 in Housing & Rentals

Hi,

We will be arriving around first week of November 2014 with my wife and 4 year old daughter. I am looking for a place to stay for a few months until me and my wife can get both a job and find our own place.

Preferences though still open to suggestions
- within zone 1 commute
- near tram, bus and/or train stations

Please reply on this thread or send me a PM with your available room.

Salamat po.
