Before our first trip to NYC, my husband and I were looking for affordable hotels to spend the night over and found this interesting site on the Internet by accident. This site (http://www.212suites.com) lets you book apartments from 1 to 4 bedrooms in NYC. You choose your location, the duration of your trip, how much you wanna spend, and it will find automatically apartments available for you according to the information you gave it. Besides that it gives pictures of the flat you’re looking for, its location on the map, its street views so you can get a general idea of the neighbourhood you’ll spend the holiday. You also get a short description of the apartment you wanna stay, its features etc., and at the bottom the website will load other flats available you can choose from if the one you’re currently browsing is not of your taste. If found it very original, exciting and a change to what we were used to. So instead of booking a hotel, we went this time for a flat. 3 weeks later we were in New York, we stayed in a 2 bedroom flat not far from the Italian quarter, and that was a great experience. This wasn’t our last trip to NY, for the summer vacations we are planning to come back and stay much longer!
