Can anyone recommend reputable agencies that rent apartments by the week? I've found two online that seem decent with reasonable prices, but I know
one is having financial difficulty and the other only has a few listings.
- domusnova.com
- foxtons.co.uk
All the rest seem kind of sketchy. Of course, I'm basing that largely on their crap websites.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

i used this site two months ago for a trip to london: http://www.londonchoice.com/home.asp
everything was as advertised. don't know if it's any good to you as they seem to be limited to london.

I have no advice to offer, but let me know if there's something I can look into over here for you. mattybar will probably have some good advice.

hmm, not totally sure off the top of my head.
how long are you going to be over for?

I'm shooting for a month and I'm looking for a two bedroom in zone 1 (or 2) near the tube.
I found this site, which seems to include availability from a bunch of letting agents: http://www.findaproperty.com
Also found a lot on gumtree.com. What is that, exactly; online classifieds, like craigslist.org or something?
I know using an agent will be more expensive than renting directly from an owner, but i can't afford to fuck around.

I may come back to you dudes for input on neighborhoods.
Back when I lived in London, I spent all my free time skating, going to shows and clubs and writing on walls, so a lot of the neighborhoods I was
frequenting were kinda sketch.
But it's been 15 years so I'm sure a lot's changed.

no shit you used to live in London?!
you used to write as well? you run with any crews over here or was it just solo missions?
where i live now (Oval, in between Brixton and Kennington) there's two skateparks in walking distance. Stockwell bowls being one of them but it's
changed a LOT in the last 15 years.
they've resurfaced it a bunch of times and extended it on one side too.
i haven't even stepped on a deck in about ten years myself after i destroyed both my knees during a drunken night of carelessness.
when are you heading over mate?

matty - check your u2us.
also, if you've got muttley sized shirts, how come the biggest thing in your store is a medium?! I know muttley ain't wearing a medium!

I'm in London right now. It's fucking awesome. Heading to Berlin tomorrow. I'll ask some folks here about your question and get back to you. We
have been riding the tubes like crazy, great system.
