Finding a house in Guatemala

How can I find a house in Guatemala?!
I am taking my family on a short 10-day vacation to Guatemala City. I need to rent a two-bedroom house for two weeks, and it seems nearly impossible to find one.
I have family in Guatemala, and they too, have had a hard time finding something. Am I missing something? Have I not looked in the right places? I am willing to pay whatever necessary to stay in a safe and clean place.
Feliz Navidad!

Best way to do it is as TomMelee suggests above- go through private individuals and organizations, find someone to rent a place from. Although- IMO I wouldn't chose Guatemala City as a place to stay for more than 1 or 2 days at most. Antigua is just a few hours away, as are plenty of other wilder destinations.
If you must stay in Guatemala City, I'd avoid flat out renting a place- it isn't a dangerous city, per sae, but a good city to stay with someone else in who knows the city and can give you advice and has good locks on their doors.
