you dont say what your interests are but 7 weeks in vientiane will get quite boring , there really isnt that much to do or see , why not use vientiane as a base and check out other parts of Laos as well ? luang prabang. vang vieng etc.
If you dont already then you could take up heavy drinking and work on an impressive beergut
Plenty of short term apartments available though and you should be able to get something in your price range, Perhaps hire a scooter and drive around the suburbs for a day or 2 until you find something, Also a good place to look for advertisements for apartments is in the phimphone supermarket window.
or try these ( from todays Vientiane Times)
