jhulyglow,
Bone swelling can be incredibly residual. I don't know how long ago your surgery was, how old you are, or what condition your skin is in, but they can all be factors in the healing process. Even little things, like which side of your body you sleep on and how oily your skin is, can have a lasting impact on swelling.
If it hasn't been a year yet, or even more depending on your age, I wouldn't be convinced that something is wrong. Also, bone asymmetry is completely normal. There is a certain degree of asymmetry expected in humans, and it is only an aesthetic cause for concern when you are past that point.

iKate,
My apartment cost me ~900 USD (before deposit) and I rented it for 34 nights. It's a studio, sadly, and not my first choice, but it suits me well enough. It has some issues, like the a/c leaking (which I use a bucket for and ignore), the shower head doesn't sit well, and it is quite noisy until 1AM at times because it is in the party district (Palermo). I otherwise don't really have any complaints.
The location is great (LOTS of shops nearby) and it has a balcony with a pleasant view. If I had only stayed for 3 weeks, I suspect the price would have been closer to 600-700. My first choice was ~1,100 USD for 34 nights and was much nicer (not a studio, modern TV, more amenities, probably in better condition), but someone snatched it up an hour before I tried.
If you spend in the range of ~1,000 for 30 nights (or equivalent for more/less days), I think you should be comfortable. I hope this helps!
