Hello Rahul,
Regarding acco. U can easily get an appartment in the suggested price in the previously mentioned areas. I just shifted to a 3 rooms flat which costs me now 800$ + gov bill for elec, water & heating. The flat is 10min walking from alfarabi. If you are in Almaty already, please feel free to contact me I can help you a bit.
Regards,
Mark (markzarifeh@hotmail.com)
