Don’t they have these cheapy portable ACs with a radiator you can drag outside? It shouldn’t cost too much, you just need a hole in the wall to stick the radiator through. Then, once you stick the radiator and it’s pipe through, you can slather the hole with cement or whatever so the heat doesn’t get in. Shouldn’t cost more than 500 USD and take more than an hour to set up.
Edit: Photo showing what I mean (found on google):
That assumes you have bought you own house which you can alter. Where I live it's 60% owns and 40% rents, but the cities, where it's much warmer and which heat up faster and thus need ac the most, have more renters than buyers. So you're dependent on whoever you're renting from to do anything like that.
Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire "hot side" is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.
Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don't really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.

There are dual hose variations. I think Hisense and Whynter sells them here in the US. If you can find them you should always go for those.
