I live at the beach but I like to spend at least 1 week to 10 days per month in the city. Last year I had an apartment and am looking to get one again before the season begins. I was talking to a couple of guys from the group and they gave me a good idea. I could probably get a nicer place than I can afford and offer it for the week when I am not in town. Any ideas, comments or pitfalls on this? I would probably get a 2 bedroom and charge $250 for 7 nights for a single and $300 for a double. Make sure it is nice. I'm assuming that I would have to be close to the gulch to generate interest from the board members. Would also want a recommendation like some guys want to give out girls numbers. Just so I know someone won't abuse the place. And they would have to say they are business clients as people here don't like sub-leasing. I'll probably end up doing this anyway as I have clients who also want to stay in San Jose. Anyway, any comments or suggestions positive or negative would be welcomed. Peace

Great idea. Thought about this after my last trip and discussed with several fellow mongers. Your welcome to PM for further info.

Location, location, location.
If you take one too far out, they have to pay higher taxi rates to the gultch. If you get one too close, you could be in a crummy bario.
Get something near a direct bus line to the mas por menas just south of the gultch. Make sure your prices compare with Linda Vista which is becoming very popular with a lot of the board members.
Think furnished too.

Thanks for the initial feedback. That location thing is the part I haven't exactly figure out yet. Possibly San Pedro. I lived there and there is a direct bus that ends within spitting distance of the Presidente. I'm might also look around Barrio Amon and see what is available. Would like a place with it's own entrance and not a lobby if possible so there would be more privacy. I'll keep looking and reading for more suggestions.
