Q: I'm loooking for house or an apartment that's max. 30 min away from tunis centre by cab....
A: While we have relaters (Immobliers) that will help you to find a place to live, they take a commission. My experience hasn't been good with them and I know others who have had bad experiences with Immobliers as well. Online posts are often the highest prices, so I do not suggest checking there. My best suggestion is to look at the newspapers, postings on the small shops and in the markets, and just drive around. It it says "A LOUER" it means for rent. Call the number and inquire about the property. You are allowed to try to bargain with the price. The main thing is to be considerate but not overly excited. You also have to decide if you want a house or apartment. Sometimes they can be similar in price, so I would suggest check out both. The more amenities, the higher the price. Do you want central heating or no? Do you want gaz du ville or gaz that you buy in a bottle? Do you want air conditioning or not? Do you want a great view or does it not matter? How good a neighborhood do you want to live in? Do you want it furnished or unfurnished? All these play a factor in the price. Since you are looking for something so central to the main hub in the capitol, expect to pay more. Tunis rents are usually higher anyways. When my husband and I lived in Tunis 6 years ago (we lived in El Menzah - just outside the main capitol) we paid 500TDN a month for a one bedroom apartment that was furnished, but not luxurious. If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
