In need of a (relatively) cheap place to live in Honolulu for 100 days. Suggestions?
7 replies, posted
Hey guys, I know this is an unusual request, but you never know what you'll find, right?
Anyway, I got a 100 day paid internship ($33/day) in or near Honolulu, HI, and I will have to find a place to live for the duration.
Are any of you from the area? I could use advice on apartments and rates.
The closer it is to piers 39/40, the better. That's where I'll be working, and a short commute would be ideal.
I'm not very picky, I just need something with at least the following:
•Basic furniture (Bed, table, chairs) (2 beds is a plus, if I end up having a roommate, see below)
•Bathroom
•Fridge/stove
•Internet access
[B]Throw anything you've got at me.[/B] I'll be getting paid $1000/month, and [B]I will probably end up becoming roommates with a fellow student who got the exact same internship[/B], so I/we can afford anything up to about $1200/month.
I'm open to [B][I]any[/I][/B] possible options

Yeah even some of the cheapest apartments on craigslist are around 1k/mo, and they're pretty ratty and shady
look for student accommodation, I don't know how available it will be in the area you want but I currently live in a fully furnished place, my own room with furniture, common areas (living room, kitchen bathroom), all utilities including internet covered by rent and once a week a cleaner comes and cleans the common areas. Cost $920/mo but it is worth it considering the utilities and cleaning service.
However this is in Australia where rent prices are high as fuck, my friend lives in a similar deal for $140 a week.

You also gotta realise that $1000 is not a lot of money to live on, especially when you have to pay a lot of rent. I would highly recommend getting your fellow student to find a place with you.
