My Apartment in Midtown Manhattan, New York City

From January through April of 2010, I was living in New York City to partake in a web development internship with a company in the Empire State Building. This is the apartment I stayed in, in midtown Manhattan on E 30th St. between Lexington and 3rd Ave. I recorded this pretty much as soon as I moved in on New Year's Eve 2009. I heart NY :)

dang...I understand it's manhattan and im fine with the smallness becuause it seems quite cozy actually...but for $2500 for such a small place...i was thinking at most $2000 :(

@MileyCyrusVideos23 I wasn't renting through a private landlord in the typical way. I was renting this place from a company called Sara's Homestay. They rent units to people looking to stay in the city for a medium-term stay (four months in my case). The $2500 included unlimited long distance calling (which was great, because my family is in Canada), high speed internet, cable, utilities, etc. It was expensive, but convenient.

@ralbon I understand now. Would you recommend Sara's Homestay to another person?

@MileyCyrusVideos23 I didn't have any trouble or anything like that, and I absolutely loved the location. It was small and expensive, but I knew I could handle it for four months, so I went for it and it worked out for me. If you're on a tighter budget, or if you can't be comfortable in a small living space, then you'll want to look at other options.

well its 2500 and if i lived there i wouldnt havent the long distance to canada so how much would it be without that?

@codgamer690 This particular apartment/service is a non-negotiable package deal, as far as I know. The apartment includes everything I mentioned, and that's what you pay for it. If you want more information though, go to sarahomestay d o t com.

I hope your internship went well!

@TubeGuest5178 Something like that. I think it's the place I have chosen as my future home. I'm 16 so I still have university to get through, but after that I'm moving to New York. It'll be awesome.

Living in NY is like living in China, Japan or Singapore. small, crowded and expensive.
