Luanda Living
There are so many expat forums but all seem to be geared towards the oil industry. Wondering if anyone on here can give me first hand up to date knowledge please ...
How much would a 2/3 bed apartment/house be near the airport, nothing flash but liveable?
Would utilities be included in the rent, if not - what's the average monthly cost?
What's the airport area like, shopping, eating out (African style is fine)?
Is it safe, in regards to walking around during the day, children (thinking holidays)?
Would there be need to have gardiens/security guys for vigilance?
Costs of domestic help? ie. security
Shopping; I've read some horrendous prices on forums but from what I can gather they eat as they would back home. Going to the market & picking up veg etc as I do in other African countries, is it really that pricey???
Any other info from Luanda residents would be very useful!
Please don't tell me it's a sh*****e, I'm expecting that & have seen some in my time in Africa but if you can give me comparison 'holes' that would be useful!
Thanks
Arik
