Seeking recommendations on short term housing in Bogota

I will be coming to Bogota in mid-Feb 08, cant wait!

Would love to find a hostel or hotel with a good, central location and reasonable rates while I am looking for work (ESL teaching) and an apartment.

Appreciate any recs you may have on this matter.

Also, any websites that you know of that have descriptions or great maps of central Bogota, so I am not completely (just mostly) lost the first few days.

Gracias,

Steph

Steph.....Best recommendation I can give a newcomer to Bogota is Platypus...located in the La Candelaria....owner is German...speaks several languages and is a really really good fella and very helpful. Tell him Daryl Meyer from the US recommended him and his hostel. Good luck!!
