Aparthotels in Chapinero

Am leaving my apartment in search of a cheaper, furnished room, and trying to set up a back up plan in case there is a gap in time from leaving one place to moving into another.

NEEDED; small to medium refrigerator in Bogota and other cheap/used furniture

Just moved into a killer apartment, but there is no fridge. Unsure at this point how long I will stay after my first 3-4 months here, so price is crucial. Would also be interested in super low priced furniture to make the place cozy. Are there any places online or somewhere that lists moving sales, estate sales, etc? Any info on places to buy it (and have it delivered) would be great. Thanks, Steph ...

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 www.travelgoddess.net ...
