If anyone could share some info, I would highly appreciate that.
I would STRONGLY recommend not booking a place until you get down here. You want to get a feel for the place and decide what part of town you want to live in, if it's worth the extra dough to be on the beach, if you want to be close to the bars or not, etc. So yeah, just grab a hotel for a few nights while you check some places out.
