I seldom write and disagree with people but I have to here. I lived
in Arusha for 12 years (sadly I had to move to Nairobi because of
work). I lived in a five bedroom house with three bedroom staff
quarters. There were 3 1/2 baths, a huge verandah and spacious
gardens. Rent... $400.00 a month. What do you get for $400.00 a
month in most towns these days?
As to flats, Fortes is good, but because his is more into short term,
his prices are higher.
Check the notice boards at places like Mac's Pastery Shop at the Clock
Tower, the AICC and a few others. Put an ad in the Arusha Times
classified <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.arushatimes.co.tz/." target="_blank">http://www.arushatimes.co.tz/.</a> And stick to you budget.
People will try to get as much as possible from you, and you will try
to pay as little as possible. That is part of life in Africa.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
