i am planning a trip to baguio with some friends next year around september or october. and i cant find anywhere in internet what i wanted to have. we will be staying arround 3 weeks and need a house or a villa, the best one could be some kind like a "trasient" (i dnt knw if i used the ryt word). i heard from one of my friend that most people living at baguio has this ready-to-rent units. if somebody from baguio is out here or someone who knows any contact where we could live while on vacation.. please response.. salamat po

Hi there migenKC! I am from Baguio City. It's nice of you to have planned your trip at a very early time. This would give you enough time to prepare for it. Three weeks of fun in Baguio would definitely be a great way to have a holiday! Anyway, there are a lot of places here where you could stay. I suggest that you make the necessary arrangements early August (if you come to Baguio in September) or early September (if you come to Baguio in October) so you can get a great place where you can stay. There are indeed a lot of possible places available for tourists like you. However, it is too early to make the arrangements now. Well, you can keep in touch with me until then so I can help you. Good luck!

Teachers' Camp would be a good option. However, you should make early arrangements with them as the place is always fully booked even during off-season. I do not have any idea as to how much they charge but it is a nice place to stay as it is very near a lot of tourist spots.

I would recommend Teacher's Camp too. It is one of the tourists spots in Baguio and it is a cheap and nice place to stay. If you want a quiet place and a safe one then go to Teacher's camp. Hope you enjoy your stay in Baguio.

That's a nice idea, you can inquire first but don't settle for it until you've seen the place. September and October is not a peak season for tourist in baguio so you won't have a hard time looking for a nice place. But make sure you'll check first the place before you book it. If you go there, you can go around first. Check DOT or the help desk for they can provide you with nice places yet very cheap. Make sure you'll find place near where you'll be working or visiting to save on transpo expenses. Have fun in Baguio.

you can search the net for transients in Baguio.. well they have it there as low as 250 per person per night.. so I hope you can find one. I am not from Baguio but we go there often but we always stay on hotels, but maybe this time we are going to stay on per day rent houses. it is cheaper because you can cook your food.

yep, i like it more if you can have your own food to cook specialy for a 3 week holiday. 250 pernight per person is madness!! hehe.. but its better to pay than to have cheap ones but not as much as what you expected. right?

it's "transient"..^_^ im not from baguio, but i often go there twice or once every quarter. im from ilocos. if you're looking for transient houses, most of them are found just around burnham park and also near UB and SLU. i guess transient houses in baguio are all around, but some are not quite reliable. you and your friends can check some of the recommended apartelles in baguio. http://www.baguiocity.com/bcmain_hotels.php here are some of the view from one of the transient houses. http://www.baguiocity.com/hotelimages/villa6.jpg

im not from baguio but we often go there with my family. i prefer you to go to "pine breeze" they offer lesser price than the other house there. and their facilities is good. so better try that, and i think you will like it. so hopefully you will enjoy your stay there. GOOD DAY.

I also suggest Teacher Camp if you really want to avail their cheap cottages but the cold breeze doesn't totally reach there because it's already crowded. I suggest you could try transients located in leonard wood in baguio. I don't have their address right now because I'm at work but if you're interested you could send me a message so I will be reminded of that. ^^,
