*Watch out for scammers! Never wire anyone money if you've never met them in person. Don't fall for apartment owners who say they're in another country doing charity work and therefore cannot meet you, but if you wire them money, you can have the apartment. Yes, this may sound ridiculous but the reason why these scammers are still around is because people still fall for them.
