Hi, I am a 28-year-old woman who recently moved from Kerala to Bangalore, and this is the easiest way to find a PG even without stepping out of your home. Step number 1: Fix one area somewhere close to your work or college so you don’t waste time traveling. Step number 2: Search PGs for that area in Google. Check their photos, shortl a few PGs, and call the owners directly to confirm room availability and rent details. Step number 3: Compare the rent, maintenance, and everything important, and narrow it down to just two to three options. From there, you can either fix one or visit these three PGs and decide. This way, you save a lot of time and you can do everything from home and come directly to the PG once you have fixed the PG.”She explains the process in detailThe woman also shared a detailed caption with the video, saying that many people had asked her how she found her PG in Bengaluru.
