Renting a house isn't very easy, you have also to be cautious and patient. You should negotiate the price because sometimes the owners exaggerate.

Take your time while searching, don't stick for a sole specific area, You should have options and alternatives.

Houses in areas considered to be good are expensive, a house (3 bedrooms - G+1) can cost 2000 -3000$

\\\\\\\you will need a broker who gets (1/2 the monthly rent for 6 months payment and one monthly rent for 12 months payment)

Finding a house is not really hard but costs are getting higher and higher after the Ethiopian millennium.Better is to check the local English newspapers together with advertisements in some selected supermarkets and hotels or restaurants.

Speak/Email Bubbi the owner of the Lions Den Hotel:

thelionsdenhotel.com

She has聽 4 bed furnished house (short term let) in the centre of Addis that should suit your needs - if you want it for 6 weeks expect to pay $35 a day -聽 or look for properties at:

ezega.com/RealEstate

It is better to look once you arrive. Personally I would stay at the Lions Den for a couple of weeks and look for a home. There are plenty available for rent - but most are advertised locally.
