We are moving from Europe to Milwaukee in a couple of weeks and are looking for a place to stay the first few days while we look for an apartment. We will be with our cat, what I think will make things a little more difficult. Right now, we have only find something affordable for the first night. From that date on, the cheapest option I've found in metro Milwaukee is 140$ per day. I've found a corporate housing in Wauwatosa (80 $ day), but how much time (and money) it could take to arrive to downtown form there?
Any other suggestions or advice?
I've contacted a lot of apartment communities but most of them have not replied (and the rest to say no). Maybe email is not a good idea and I should Skype them?
Less urgently, I've starting looking for a permanent apartment in Craiglist and
Rent.com. Any other suggestions? We think that we would like to live downtown, lower eastside...
I wanted to ask you how much time do you think it can take to find a place and move into it, taking into account if they have to check on us or something. Most of the places are not furnished, are they?
Thanks!
