Find a place to rent in beirut without selling a kidney

Hello, I want to find a place to rent in beirut because I'll start working there soon (october) (specifically near downtown).

I want to move into an apartment with a friend and split the rent between us so we want a 2 bedroom.

We have a budget of 1000$ for rent without utilities.

However whenever I look a place up it seems like there's so many caveats and I have to pay like 6months worth of rent in broker fees and advanced payments and deposits which is impossible for me to afford, especially as a new grad.

Do any of yall know a way or some websites or somebody to help search for a place where I don't have to already be wealthy to move in?

Here are some of the requirements for the apartment I have in mind, am I being delusional:

  1. 2 bedrooms

  2. a kitchen (stove and oven)

  3. furnished

  4. the building has access to ogero fiber

  5. a clean bathroom

  6. sweet water

  7. safe area

  8. not too far from work
