Good value for long-term stays, or simply for anyone allergic to conventional hotels, are the many private guesthouses tucked away in the residential backstreets. They offer comfortable rooms and cable TV; breakfast and/or airport pick-ups are usually included in the tariff. Room rates are fixed but you should be able to negotiate a discount depending on how busy the place is and how long you're staying.
