I have vague plans to be in Tel Aviv from early July through late August. I'd like to rent an apartment but because my stay is short-term I'm not sure if it's possible. I was about to investigate options, and thought I'd start here first. Which is to say, I've done nothing yet.

My only prereqs are:
* must be on or by the beach
* rent cannot cannot cannot be higher than 800/month

I know you can get nice digs in Tel Aviv for 400-600, and even less, but I don't know how being by the beach, and how being short-term, affects this. And the lower the price, the better for me, cos I am currently in voluntary temporary early retirement. Also I haven't been in Israel since I was 13 (13 years ago), so my knowledge of neighborhoods and what's a good place to be, what's boring, etc, is nonexistent.

If you know of a good inexpensive hostel ( under $25/night ), I might consider that too. Though I wanted my own place so I'd have a kitchen and living room...

So does anyone know of some kinda apartment complexes, hostels, hotels, or any other ideas, that would fit my idea? Thx!

To clarify, the prices I mentioned are in US Dollars.

for future reference, if anyone else ever needs some info... I found the following site the most useful:

http://www.homeless.co.il/

But it is in Hebrew. It seems like a Craigslist sort of deal, but for apartments.

There's also a Yahoo group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TelAvivFlats/

But this group seems to list only people looking for apartments and sublets.

As for hostels and hotels and 'holiday rentals' - there's plenty, but they're all way more expensive than apartments in Tel Aviv.

Sadly it looks like I may have to delay my 2 month trip anyway, but if anyone else ever looks here for info, hope this helps.

Looks like they are only 1 bedroom apartments. Anyone know of any other places to find short term tel aviv apartment rentals, like 2 or 3 bedroom?

you can also check out Taanglo, and Janglo (both at janglo.net) lots of anglo-israelis will let their apartments short term over holidays or when they go on vacation, and will advertise here.
