Boarding houses in Ermita?

[Gregg1056 0]

Any ideas for an inexpensive and safe place to stay in Ermita? My fiancee is commuting daily from Makati to St Lukes for her TB treatment and its turning out to be very hard on her. The Jeepny rides take her almost 3 hours each way on some days due to traffic, and the heat and dust aren't a good thing especially in her condition. I've seen a few places online that look like dumps close to the LRT. They are little more than a bunkhouse. That would be ok I guess if its in a safe area. She has made a good friend already and they are thinking about renting something close to St Luke's. They could share living expenses and keep an eye on each other too.

Thanks

Thanks for the idea Daisy 22. But Casa Bocobo is too expensive to live there for the next 6 months. She is looking more to share a room or bedspace. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I wish I knew of places to stay, hopefully someone else who had to get treatment sees this and can help out.

So you have to go to the hospital every day for 6 months? They can't give you medicine to take home? I don't understand why, can someone please explain for me?

they might missed out some medicines if they take it at home..you know saint luke's very particular on every applicant...if they fail on one applicant... of course the embassy will replace them
