Accommodation Options in New York for 3 months from Oct 2012
Hi, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for accommodation options in New York as I will be travelling there mid October 2012 gaining professional experience with an architecture firm in Brooklyn as part of a scholarship I have just been awarded. I am 29yrs old and have been working full-time in Sydney for the past 4 years since graduating from Newcastle University, Australia. I enjoy travel and meeting new people so would be open to a number of housing options including house/pet sitting, home stay, share house etc. Being on a scholarship budget too, it would be fantastic to save on accommodations costs as much as possible!I look forward to hearing from you if you have any suggestions or know of anyone that could potentially help out!
Feel free to send me a private message.
Thanks!

Hello Dear Traveler,It's tough finding affordable accommodations in NYC, but not impossible. If you don't find a free stay, you may want to check out these sites. Be careful about any referrals to Craigslist New York as there are a host of unsavory characters willing to take your hard earned cash and some other things from you.
Good luck and happy travels.

Sublet.com.I just found a tenant this way for my NYC apartment - it was recommended by a friend who rents hers out for the 6 months each year she doesn't live in NYC. It's more structured than Craigslist, and I know, as a 'landlord', that sublet.com does a little checking to make sure it's legitimate.
If you can, somehow, find someone in NYC to check out the apartment for you - even a casual facebook buddy. There are too many scams out there ....
