Available places tend to fill up real fast, we moved there in June/July 2009 and couldn't find anything nice in my budget for 700 euros a month, in the end I had to get a place at 900 euros per month but it was pretty bad ass and a great location so I didn't mind too much.

If you want to do some diving I highly recommend getting the Ferry to Gozo and going to a place called Xlendi, it has some great areas to dive in and caves to go exploring in, you'd love it. There's also nice places to grab food/beers after you are done and watch the sun set right out on the water.
