Finding appartment in beirut for 4 months

Hello All,

I am a 25 year old girl who will be living in Beirut (Hamra) for 4-5 months on an internship starting at the end of this month. I need to find something cheap (maybe $400-$500 a month) as I'll be receiving a small allowance.

I will be put up in a hotel for 7 days but need to find permanet accomodation myself after this 4 months.

I am worried that I wont be able to find a furnished place to live that quickly and wondered if anyone had any hint or tips? Suggestions of where to look? Advice on how easy it is?

I would also probably like to share a place with another girl, roughly my age as think living on my own in a new country might be a bit lonely!

Any adivice warmly welcomed, many thanks

Not easy to find.

Tip: Pass by LE CHEF restaurant in Gemmayze, ask for Charbel and ask him. There are many young expats in town that have rooms to sublent. Charbel is alwas on top of the News :)

Otherwise, ask at American University of Beirut or check online:
