Bogota Accommodation

Hello all

I will be flying to Bogota in early November in hopes of teaching english at a university or at private institutes. Do you know of any reasonable accommodation options for a stay of about 6 months or so? It would have to be in North Bogota in a safe neighborhood. I don't mind sharing with roomates. Any leads appreciated. My e mail is dnits123 at telus.net. Check out my website www.truecolombia.com.

stay in a private home Since you are staying as long as 6 months, a good choice is to rent a room with a family. There are loads of families in north-bogota having rooms for rent(seem to be a lot of older women, widows,single mothers or divorced women who rent room to help their private economy). Have a look in the local newspapers. Normal price for a private room with private bath (you use the family kitchen)is around 300 000 pesos (110-120 US dollar)a month.
