This is the type of information thats important to newcomers. Good job Gio.

[@Rick-hz8ee]

Thanks for the recent rentals shown, great choices. The type of places you are showing are very helpful for me and I assume other travelers and expats.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Glad it was helpful!

[@talkingphilippines]

Hi Gio, just organized a ride from Boracay where I've been living. I will leave here November 9th. Then today I see this video and jumped at it. I already booked one month from November 10th! Thanks man! It's perfect.

Glad it was helpful!

Cool ty for the info 😎 good to know stuff like this the places look good kinda like miltary room when I was marines

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

Nice and for short term it does not seem too high

Daghang Salamat… Very useful updated information sharing this one

[@jujjeelf309]

Good tip! Thanks.

[@texascowboy8612]

Nineteen thousand pesos a month. ?? Does not seem cheap to me. I rent a big beautiful three bedroom two baths and a garage, covered patios ome on camiguin island for 16.000 a month I agree it's better than a hotel room. But not long term.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

This is short term not long

[@garywalker4272]

Cowboy, this is a 'specifically' for having a place to lay your head while exploring for what ' youve' found, Sir.

[@HemiChrysler]

@@GiointhePhilippines Furthermore, prices upon Camiguin Island are likely different from Dumaguete.

[@sverkeristerband2918]

The thing is that Dumaguete is expat heavy so the rent prices and food prices and prices for services there are probably higher then in none expat heavy areas . Also you have to consider what u get for the price , furnished , internet included , full pool access , full gym access .you can probably get a cheaper deal in dumaguete if you look around but it also comes down to what standards you want , i mean you can probably rent a bahay kubo for 500 pesos a month with no running water , No electric and no aircon , No internet and sleep on a straw matress if cheap is the way you wanna go .

Hi Geo, thanks for that video on Ayang's Place. That looks like a winner to me! I am coming from the US next April for a 30 day look and see. I was originally going to stay at Heidi's Cabin on Antonio Torres Jr. Avenue but price wise it was around $22.00 USD per night. This place is right at nearly half the price. If you are in Dumaguete when I come through I will buy you a coffee or three at Ground Zero. Kind Regards.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Sounds great!

[@douglasblair5458]

Really nice place for short-term stay! That for great videos. I didn't hear any dogs either, lol.

Only good price for 1-2 month maximum - as you said. In a subdivision (depending on the class) you can get big house between 15.000 and 40.000+

Thanks for sharing this video Gio. The prices in Dumaguete have increased, so this is reasonable. We opted to do a three month lease in Valencia for a two bedroom but paid more. We did the three month so we had time to learn more about the area before making a longer commitment, so I think your advice was spot on!

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Thanks 🙏

[@donquixote1502]

A really great and helpful vlog Gio. Thank you! This place looks like a perfect starting point. 👍❤

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Welcome

[@dresdyn100]

Looks like a nice place Gio, we may be moving back to Dumaguete next year sometime so good info. Either of the Hermogina's are great as well with the one closer to Robinson's being a preference rather than the Banilad version as it's closer to town. Both the upside and downside is you need all your own cooking gear, utensils. plates etc but if you're staying long term you going to need to buy them anyway. 3 bedroom/2 bathroom townhouse is 18k, studio is 10k. Only AC is the main bedroom. This includes water and very good internet but you pay for the electrical. Minimum term is a month so plenty of time to look around and get to know the city better. 1 month rent for a deposit on both as well.

[@our_phi_life6635]

[@g8way2k1]

Well now. I agree, looks well kept, pool is pristine. grounds are nice and clean looking. Yes, the units are a little small, but for 1 person it serves the purpose. And I would be inclined to figuratively incorporate the outside amenities for the space provided. Heck, you can even do a little grilling. When it says the electric and water is not included, are the units individually metered for use, or is the cost commonly shared among tenants? All in all looks like a very fair deal. I'll click on the link for answers. Very nice of you to do this video, and others. that provide a great service to your viewers.

Thanks Bill

Nice place, but I will stick with Davao City myself. I love it here and my real family is here. Ne, our girls and our grandkids. I only pay 12.5 at our condo here at Camilla north point fully furnished. We could build in Bohol on Ne's mom's land that she would give us free., but we are saving now to buy land and build here in Davao city. I have never been in Dumma but it looks like a nice area.

Thank you for showing an inexpensive rental location in Dumaguete. I love these types of videos. But I sometimes fast forward to watch the beautiful scenes at the end of your videos. 👍🤣

[@StanHasselback]

That's a pretty good deal at about $10 a day with internet included. Its looks like a great place to start while you get your bearing.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Definitely!

[@voicevoice2053]

That's quite expensive isn't it for Philippine prices...19k a month for a one bed apartment..my ex in Dumaguete was renting a one bed house just outside Dumaguete for 6k a month. 19k is £ 300 English pounds. Although it looks a neat place

[@GiointhePhilippines]

With a pool and gym it isn't really expensive.

[@voicevoice2053]

@@GiointhePhilippines ok I see. I guess if a pool and gym are wanted but I wouldn't be interested in those two. Cheap compared to western prices I agree but. To rent a 1 bed apartment in southern uk now is around 550 pounds per month or 37,700 peso per month but we have a property/rent boom here at the moment. Northern UK us cheaper... But a basic state pension here in uk is only 760 pounds or 51,000 per month.

@@GiointhePhilippines can't you get a house for this price, although maybe a long term commitment ? Also if new in Phil is it not better to stay in town so you can walk to shops and restaurants ? This place looks like it's in the province.

[@earlclep1]

Best advice ever given in the Philippines or anywhere else for that matter is take your time, talk to others where you are looking to stay and spend some prime time (Friday evening, Saturday evening and early Saturday and Sunday mornings) in any location where you are looking. If you find the right place it is wonderful just like anywhere else in the world. Wrong place and it will be hell in the Philippines 😂🤔 😲

@@GiointhePhilippines Personal choice if that's what they want but I'm just saying it's easy to do a full body workout with just two sets of dumbells or a full Calisthenic workout with either dip bars or a high bar. Gym's are a luxury that some folks can no longer afford. Only those into power lifting or body building really need a gym. It's possible to become extremely strong and muscular just with calisthenics or dumbells which can be done at home for minimal cost. If folks want a gym its their choice but I suggest they check out the on line work outs available before spending money on a gym .
