It was the same with me when I arrived and apartments were much harder to find then. Be careful of brokers though. They have had had a very easy time of it over the last two years with massive demand and a fairly limited supply. It looks now that the supply will be higher once the ganes are over next week.

In my experience, the brokers didn't return calls and didn't always keep appointments. In the end I dealt directly with a landlord. This was a better option as I was able to negotiate better terms and if anything goes wrong, I can call up him directly.

See how you go and if you like I will give you my landlord's number and you can deal with him directly.
