Anyone know a good resource other than CL for finding decent rooms for rent? I'm not seeing very much around here, that isn't waaay out in the 48th's and what not. I'd like to grab a quick room for the summer until I decide if I'm going to stick around or not. But these apts around here are nothing but the student-ripoff-special! Overly painted walls, caked up outlets (not even grounded properly) the WORST "windows" known to man... it's as if someone covered the windows with newspaper and set off a paint BOMB in the room and let it dry.
---I'm not asking for a Rittenhouse dream loft, but at least something that is ADULT and respectable. This college kiddy stuff is embarrassing and ridiculously overpriced as it is. Is there anything decent around W/Philly that isn't a blatant con, or not in a war-zone filled with ghetto terrorist kids on ATVs and aggressive pan handlers? lol okay I know those are extremes, but I see it a lot, living around 45th/balt and it's very annoying
