Some questions, and of course feel free to add your own input:

• Is there an local, off-gringo-radar craigslist type of thing I ought to check out?
• What's a reasonable rate to expect to pay, based on others' experience? I scoured this thread, but didn't find many specifics...
• Is it too soon to be searching for such a place for March? Obviously it's not too soon for Airbnb and the vacation rental sites I found, but we're trying to spend a fair bit less than these demand...

Thanks!!
