I have been in Antigua for 6 years and if you rent from a Realtor you will pay three times too much. You want to ask very nicely in Spanish at the local grocery stores and the guards at the private communities who wants to rent? For this you need a Guatemalan since the price doubles if an expat is asking. The local Spanish schools will teach you Spanish but more importantly give you an instructor who is really paid less than a dollar an hour and needs extra money, the schools also have quarters for students with hot showers and a kitchen, some even include meals or at least a cook to teach you local (gringo-ed) dishes. Two schools that have been around forever are Centro Linguistico La Union and Spanish Academy Sevilla. Both on second avenue. Remember in Guatemala everything is negotiable do not even think of paying list price.

Very helpful info. Thank you. I visited one Spanish school while I was there and the accommodations were nice and they asked $125/week for 3 of us. I'm not sure what all that included except housing with a private bathroom and a communal kitchen.
