place to stay in Bogota

Hey everybody! I'm an American college student who will be interning in Bogota this summer, and I'm looking for a place to live. I'll be there from June 8th until August 18th. Does anyone know of any specific room or apartment I can sublet or rent this summer? Or at least of any website to help me begin my search? Muchas gracias! --Ben

Asking here is a good start. There's also a Colombian Craigslist. But the best way is to come a bit earlier and look for a place on the ground. Good luck.

I'll be in the north of Bogota, near Calle 100 and the Autopista. Thanks for all your help and suggestions! Please keep them coming!

It's a good location, try to live somewhere near there (but on the east side of the autopista), or just slightly south east. Anywhere north east is fine too.

Hi Ben. You'll be too few days, take more time if you can, I guess it's not so easy to rent an apartment for these few days, Why not stay in a Hotel? there are some good an cheap hotels.
There are also some apartment rentals specially made for foreigners. (Mary's one is in a good place, close to your destination)
Contact me if you need some advice (Cell 317 7476303) Edwin,
