It's generally not a good idea to live places that aren't close to an Embassy, especially for Westerners

just came back from goa.  if you're looking for accomodation then try renting an apartment in Calangute or Baga area of Goa. it's close to 3 beaches.  transport is expensive. you can hire a bike by the day from local garages.  the Brits know their way around.  there's a fairly good resort type apartment block which has a swimming pool 5 minutes away from Calangute beach.  the resort is 'Anette Apartments'.  there's a local lady called Almeira who rents out apartments and she has a good reputation. but you'll have to book early cause she has regulars who visit from all over the world.
