Is this doable? I have an internship in NYC in the beginning of January, and it feels like I just can't seem to find an apartment! Any tips or advice?
As in a rental? You don't suggest what you are looking for, where, for how long, etc.
January 2015 or 2016?
Yes, rental, though I expect I might have to take a sublet until I have time to properly look for an apartment. I need a place for at least three months, but likely longer and looking into long term (as I will be looking for a more permanent employment). I'm looking for places in Brooklyn or Queens, since I expect Manhattan is too far out of my budget for now. I'm searching remotely from California, so nothing is set in stone yet, so I was wondering if this is still doable to find rental from so far away.
What price? size? Type etc.?
Suggest working through friends who are local.
