Apartment in Guanajuato
 
Will be in Guanajuato this summer (month of July), likely attending Escuela Mexicana. Was thinking of spending the first week in a hotel and then finding an apartment for the final three weeks. Question: is it realistic to think I can find a nice, convenient, reasonably-priced convenient apartment on a weekly basis In July without booking in advance?

Thanks.

No, it's not realistic. I live in Guanajuato, and apartments here rent by the month, not the week. Your best bets are hotels or vacation-rental apartments, such as the one at gtoapartment.com.

Yes, you'll want a vacation-rental, as the typical apartment isn't fully-furnished or equipped. You probably don't want to be buying dishes and linens, etc. Another source for vacation rentals is http://GuanajuatoVacationRentals.com
Good luck!

Thank you for this guidance! I am now looking for a place for a full month.
