That's an amazing savings. We are enjoying Panamá (the country, not the city) currently with a rent of $250 per month, internet included. The challenge we are currently facing is finding a place in the US for two-three months that's actually affordable. Even the hotels are crazy expensive for short stays. It definitely seems like picking a city, getting there in a hotel, and then finding a place is a better strategy than finding something online. I've been to countless websites that return an error when I put in our target dates: 'our reservation system doesn't allow dates longer than 30 days'!?! LOL Then, almost everything for our target duration is 'vacation rental', which means they want at least $500 per week.
