Yoshie, this is apartment help.I can help with Hotels but i dunno your budget for accomo.Just clocked your only going for a short period so a hotel will be better suited for you.Either way, here is some informationwww.craigslist.comwww.vrbo.comwww.homeaway.comTry stay in Brooklyn if you can, it will be much cheaper than Manhattan but you will still have easy access.When looking in Brooklyn,try to go for places like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, FortGreene and AVOID Bedstuy, Pratt area,Bayridge,Mill Basin and Clinton Hill.Most of them you have to click on the link to see the nightly,weekly and monthly rates. Some of them state a price on the link but doesnt make clear if thats theres weekly or monthly, so i would just click.
