天美麻豆

Hello irishexpat,

Welcome to 天美麻豆!

I invite you to have a look to the Switzerland Guide>accommodation.

Best of luck,
Rouma

1500-1750 CHF for a 4 to 4.5 room (that's a 3 bedroom) flat won't be easy to find in Basel itself, and don't expect a big flat for that amount (up to 90 m2). If your husband has found a job at the airport, why don't consider to go and live in France or Germany - where accomodation may be cheaper and easier to get. The airport itself is in France, not in Switzerland.

The internet site to search for accomodation in Switzerland is

Take in mind, when searching, that the Swiss count in rooms, not in bedrooms. A 4-room flat usually means 3 bedrooms and a living room, a 4.5-room flat means a living room, 3 bedrooms, and a kitchen that has space enough to sit and eat in.

Your relatives are right: when you're living "abroad", you'll going a lot of visitors.

Hope this helps,
Twan.

Thanks very much for your help....we are now looking in France, definitely seems like a better option

Thanks again for your help

Dear Irish

I would like to know where did you finally rent the flat?
I will probably relocate in Basel , I will be working at the airport too and I'm trying to figure out where is the best and cheap place to rent a flat.

I will appreciate your help

Thanks
Ale
