Hi Guys,

I would appreciate any advice you all could give me. I am moving to New York in a few weeks for a 10 week internship and have been trying to find a place to live. I have never been to NYC before and my first time will be a few days before my internship starts, so I will pretty much have to choose an apartment without being in NYC. I found an apartment in west harlem that seems pretty good but I have heard about Harlem's reputation and would prefer to ask this forum for advice. The apartment is on 125th between amsterdam avennue and morgninside avenue. Would this be a safe and convenient place to live? Also, what are some other cheap but safe places for an intern to live. Again I appreciate any help!

Why can't you stay in a hotel or hostel for a few nights while you find a sublet? I would not recommend taking any sublet sight unseen.

That said, if you would provide the location (cross street) of your internship, or an approximate location if you're not comfortable providing the cross streets, perhaps we could suggest other neighborhoods. Also provide your budget for rent.

Try sublet.com

125 St & bet. Amsterdam - Morningside is pretty safe.

Can't you ask your employer to help you out? Presumably they have novice interns constantly.

How about a summer sublet from an NYU student?
