Welcome back to Geneva and to glocals.

For accommodation, your best bet is to check the offers in the Classifieds where you can also place an ad of your own.

However, it may take a little while to find something that fits your rather tight budget.

All the best, Ritchie

To the best of my knowledge, the going price for a fair-sized room in a decent residential building is now at least 800-850 per month.
