Looking for an option to staying in an expensive New York City hotel? Maybe you should give a vacation rental a try. TripAdviosr has over a thousand NYC rental listings on their website. They also have lists sorted by neighborhood and by categories like “Cheap New York City Vacation Rentals” or, if you want to experience living large, “New York City Luxury Vacation Rentals.”
Some of these places look pretty small, but then New York City hotel rooms tend to be small too.
Look for rentals that have plenty of good reviews.
