At first we were so unlucky as far as trying to find a place we looked what seemed like every where and just could not find much and what we were finding was so over priced it was not even funny. For a short while we took on a place that was far too expensive and when it was clear even with room mates that it was not going to work we went searching again. This time we played it smart and looked near Hyde Park and struck gold. Some amazing homes and probably the most cost effective in the area for a college student at least. So tips: start your search early and try to look near Hyde Park you won't be disappointed.
