Currently in California and moving to NYC in July. Looking for an apartment to rent in Manhattan. Will have only 2 weeks in July to look for it. Whats the best way to go about it without using a broker (expensive!)?

Do searches for “no fee” apartments

Go through the classifieds of the villagevoice.com and nytimes.com

Be careful about using “apartment share” services where a company will find you a roommate, many times you can be paired with complete psychos or convicted criminals. Many apartment sharing services do not do any sort of background check whatsoever.
