    hey all,

    John and keith here, we're two irish students heading out to new york this summer for three months and what we really
    want to do is get an apartment that is really central, but apartment prices are crazy for just two people. We plan on working, drinking, travelling, site seeing
    and just having a great summer. People with no sense of humour need not apply. We want to get rent as low as possible so the more the merrier. You can email us on;

    johnandkeith@hotmail.com

    Talk soon

    No tips to be honest this Is the first time doing it so a serious amount of trial and error will be taking place. Any one actually interested in staying in manhattan?
  1.  
    If ye wanna stay in Manhattan maybe try Harlem or Devil's Kitchen areas? (Keep well away from Inwood though!)

    They're really not that bad places to stay despite the reputation. Rents tend to a bit cheaper there too.

    Hiii
    We're 2 girls from Cork heading over on June 5th til 24th August. Get in touch if you're interested in sharing accommodation and banter.
    Brooklyn or Queens neighbourhood will prob be the most likely areas... We also have to look for jobs when we get there.. Fun fun.. Living in New York though, CLASS.

    hey everyone..

    going on a j1 with my friend on the 30th may-30th august.
    we're gona be living in astoria, queens. ive skyped a lady about her apartment and shes agreed to give it to us for 7 weeks
    from the 1st june-21st july. 7 wks accomodation is so cheap aswell including utilities. we need 1 more person to live with us. its a 1 bedroom
    which me and my friend wil be sharing.. but theres a really good sofa bed with loadsa space. i have photos/google maps add if u wana see..

    we pay on arrival and no deposit required. same street as the subway and 15 minute walk to the south entrance of central park.
    anyway i am getting desperate to find a 3rd person cos its getting closer now! so get in touch with me asap if ud like to live with us.

    during the 7 wks living there we wil be looking for a place to live for the month of august..
  2.  
    manhattan is very very expensive..you should look at Long Island City in Queens..literally 2 stops on subway from times square..and would imagine it would be cheaper!
