Actually you can also speak to a lawyer
There are many specialized lawyers that can provide you with a folder with all the necessary paperworks for rental agencies and it costs little money, it shouldn't cost more than 50.000 or 100.000 pesos. I did it twice while trying to rent an apartment and it worked out just nice. I guess not all of us can afford to pre-pay a whole year in advance so it's always an option, of course, as long as you have a valid residence permit, it can't be done if you're on a tourist visa. If you have any doubts, ask me here or privately!

I will recommend you Hotel Casa Deco The staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful with every request we made. They were upbeat and knowledgeable. After three days, I felt like we were almost friends! The breakfasts were outstanding, as advertised, and the room looked just like the photos.
We did have a small issue where we stored our bags and one got left behind. They transferred it for us, but to the wrong place. This would not change my recommendation, though I would have appreciated a bit more responsiveness at that stage.
