Lagos Travel Forum

Hello,

My husband and I are looking for an apartment (not too expensive) in Lagos for 4 months (Feb to May 2006). We want to avoid larger built up tourist area. What is the best way to find one? Do local have apartment to rent? How much does it cost to rent for 4 months?
Also, my husband is an artist (drawing & painting). Where can we meet other artists in Lagos?
Thank you

I haven't been to Lagos yet, but have found several websites with aparments. Try these:

Good Luck!

Hi,

some of the best deals you can get are to actually bargain once you get out there and try the local paper, however i appreciate thats often hard to do as its nice to know where you are heading. As for artisits, there are plenty of galleries and people are friendly enough so i think just poppping his head in and getting known is the best way - there are a lot of artists in this area!
i use this site for our accommodation and they have a couple of listings for lagos but not sure if its in your budget, still may be worth a look:

I dont know about lagos, but if your interested in an appartment near Portimão (about 25km away from Lagos), contact me at marcogarcia@netvisao.pt

Actually it is not really an appartment, its a house.

We stayed in this apartment which had the greatest oceanview and the price couldnt be beat.
