shes asked for long term stay, and hoteling is not affordable for long term by any means.
There are many paying guest style accomodations available in areas like pechs, smchs, and adjoining areas. I suggest go to any real estate dealer in these areas, and ask them specifically for 'rooms', not apartments. These rooms are available on short term lease, for a few weeks, or a month, or even more...and are fully furnished. and these places are not even seedy. most of them are run by families in their own home partitions.
saddar is seedy, even for seedy people. dont know about nazimabad.
i knew about all city hotels ........... i'm from karachi, but wanted to know abt hostels or reasonable accomodation for long-term stay ( like for 2-3 semisters).............. i like boyee's idea , thanks
Yes actually boyee is right. But the thing is, lots of these hostel/paying guest type accomodations in homes are mostly available to girls; families letting out few rooms on the upper floor or 1/2 rooms on the same floor. In some cases food etc is a part of the deal.
For guys it's a bit hard to find a right place of the sort. But true, for a long stay, one must look for something like that, seek and one shall find :)
