The rent seems reasonable. How much per month for a cleaning lady? I was thinking more along the lines of $80.00 us per month. That doesn't seem realistic now. What about a pool? Cost for chemicals and cleaning service etc.

, Yeah, 100 USD for a cleaning lady, if your a gringo, but I'm sure if your a fluent speaker, like myself, you could get it for 50 USD

Default differences in language

It is amazing to see how simply speaking the native language can cut your living costs greatly. Pretty much wherever you travel.
