I found that local websites were more helpful and offered better deals than Airbnb. Sites like Macau Property Sale and Rent, Squarefoot, and Property852 were useful. They listed various options, from budget-friendly to more upscale apartments, catering to different durations of stay.
Another effective strategy was to join expat forums and social media groups focused on Macau. These platforms often have real-time listings and advice from locals or expats who’ve been through the rental process in Macau. It’s a great way to get insights and potentially find deals that aren’t widely advertised.
As a caution, always verify the legitimacy of listings and, if possible, visit the property or have someone local help you before making any commitments. And for temporary accommodation upon arrival, I used Rebookify to find hotel deals, which gave me a comfortable base to explore and finalize my rental options
