Geez. You are in over your head and don't even realize it. But I DO want to help.

There is just no way an extended stay hotel is cheaper than an apt unless it is in the 'hood and very unsafe.

Then you haven't "found" enough apts. You can get in something close to the Cracker Barrel in Matthews for around $600.

Of the 3 extended stay addresses you sent me there are issues with each.

First of all, NONE of them are anywhere near CPCC. The one on N. Tryon is 2 miles from the university, NOT CPCC.

The one on Independence Blvd would be safest, but I highly doubt there's a bus stop anywhere near it. And while it is closest to the Matthews job location it's not within walking distance of much else (groceries, drug stores, etc).

Albemarle Rd is the 'hood. I'm glad people you know had good experiences there, but I would not suggest you press your luck.

Here is my best advice based on your situation...

Forget the Cracker Barrel off of I85 - plan to transfer to Matthews.

Look for an apt, not an extended stay and you'll be on a bus line and near a lot of other retail you can walk to.

I will message you some apt links of places you can check out

I understand

Do you still have friends here? Someone you could room with? Doing that would be more affordable.

Also, more affordable than an extended stay or apt would be to just rent a room. There are lots of people renting out rooms these days.
