A suggestion: check out La Prensa http://www.laprensa.com.ni the
classified section has a large 'rooms for rent' list.
Other option is El Nuevo Diario http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni.
 Try also http://www.ibw.com.ni (bottom of
the page: classifieds)
Checking those sites, it will be pretty easy to find a decent room
for around US$200-300/month. I'll be in Managua from July 30th
on...if you need any help my # in Managua is 814.2427

Scholars planning to conduct long-term research in Nicaragua this coming year (and who don’t need to be in Managua) might want to consider the house I have been renting for the past year in Len.  The house is centrally located, two blocks from the UNAN in one direction and two blocks from a supermarket in the other.  The house is very large, has two large bedrooms that share a bathroom, one of which I use as an office, and an additional smaller "bedroom" with its own bathroom (intended to serve as quarters for a domestic worker).  The house is unfurnished, although the owner has been letting us use some furniture that was here when we moved in.  We have been paying US$ 250, although this might go up, and the owner would like at least a twelve-month commitment.  Available August 1. Please reply to me at frbarbos@indiana.edu (the owner has no e-mail), or call Adan Ramos directly at 505-311-1035.
