So I couldn't find a recent thread to bump, so here I am. I need to prepare for another summer in a condo that can get quite uncomfortable as it has no AC. It would not be possible for the temperature outside to exceed that in the condo

Could I get some advice on the best way to cool with this type of condo?
Both bedrooms have a casement window that opens 45°
(example) and a patio door in the living room. As you can see cross breeze is non-existent. I want to buy a portable AC unit and one window fan for each room
(example). I'll also be using some clear plastic sheets to essentially make each window air tight around the fans, but low key enough to keep the condo board away.
Before I start cutting the plastic sheets and installing, any advice on which way to direct the fans? Bring air in on one side and back out on the other side to try and create a cross breeze? Bring colder air in on both sides? Or expel the warmer air on both sides? Thanks in advance for any advice
