Any advice would be much appreciated

For a 6 month gig I would just let your employer pick it and pay for it on your behalf. Finding a place to live upon arrival is pretty stressful, and since it's only for 6 months your options are more limited as many (read: most) properties are up for a 12 month minimum.
