Need to find a sublet/temp housing asap

So I found out last Friday that I was accepted to an internship in Atlanta that I was hoping to get. Yay!
Since then, I've spent all of this week looking through Craigslist and other apartment websites for a place to stay, but every place I've emailed or called is either out of my price range, or simply won't respond. Fuck.

Is there anything specific I should be doing that might elicit more responses from the ads I see on Craigslist? Or should I just take the silence to mean they either already found someone or aren't interested?

Are there any other good places I should be looking for temp housing ads? A few others I found seemed a lot less active. On one of them, the newest ad listed was from early August for example.

The gritty details: Moving from NE Ohio to Atlanta. Looking to spend within $550/mo for rent, but I'll go higher if I have to. Hoping to find a place near the intersection of rout 400 and interstate 85, just north of midtown. The internship lasts 3 months starting in October, so if a lease is longer than that I'd have to find someone to sublet to for the remainder of the time.

tl;dr I need a place to stay in Atlanta for 3 months and Craigslist is sucking cock right now. Any ideas?

    are you looking in the sublet/temporary section of craigslist? Cause it looks like theres a solid amount of posts in there in your price range. Obviously most are probably not exactly in the area you want, but you might just have to deal with a long commute.

    Oh yes, that's primarily where I've been looking. The problem is that I've sent at least a dozen emails saying that I'm interested, etc, etc, but I've only gotten replies from two or three saying the room was already taken or it wouldn't work out for whatever reason. Is it safe to assume that's the case with the rest as well?
