Manhattan Apartment Rental

Hi there,

Going to New York in August for a wedding and was wondering if you could recommend any good sites for renting a holiday apartment in Manhattan or close to Manhattan. Have been lookin at loads already but was wondering if anyone had any tried and tested ones. There are 4 of us going. Cheers.

Budget???? Length of stay (some places won%26#39;t do less than a week)? How many beds do you need? Will people share a bed? Some 1 bedroom apts. have a queen bed in the bedroom (for 2) and a queen sofabed in the living room (for 2 but may not be so comfortable for an extended stay). If you all want a proper bed in a bedroom, you probably need a 2 bedroom. Best Western Hospitality is a suite/hotel with 2 bedroom suites (1 bathroom). If this is 4 women, consider getting something with 2 bathrooms. ;)

vrbo.com (vacation rental by owner) has some good offerings. There are tons of other websites with apts. but it would help to know your budget and exactly what you%26#39;re looking for.

This place looks very nice, has 2 proper bedrooms and 2 bathrooms but is downtown in the financial district. It wouldn%26#39;t bother me a bit, esp. in August.

There are dozens of place that will sleep 4, but one couple would have to sleep on a sofabed and you may lose privacy that way.

NJ is a very large state and with a few exceptions, you%26#39;d want a car to stay in NJ. There are some vacation rentals and hotels in areas of NJ that face Manhattan (Weehawken, Jersey City) with decent transport to Manhattan.

There are lots of apt/hotels. You should try the London based agency www.apartments2book.com and see what they can offer.
