Some readers want to know how it is possible to afford to live in Jerusalem on my small budget? The answer is low rent! I find share rentals that only cost about $500US/month.
CraigsList is used to search for rooms [link]. In Israel the shekel is the monetary unit. Right now one shekel = .27 dollars. So a room that rents for 1000 shekels would cost $270US. If you click on that link, you may see that most rooms fit my budget!
I look for share rentals where I am the only other renter [only one room mate]. It seems like less room mates mean a more tranquil apartment.
Note: Craigslist rentals may be found for many of the World's cities. Here is Craiglist for Paris, France [link].
