I need a room/apt to rent in New York City. Any clues?

Other than www.craigslist.org , how else could i find information about cheap/affordable New York City apartments/rooms? ranging $200-$400.

First off, unless you are talking about per week, you will not find any place in NYC for $200-400 a month. That might get you a stinky futon you have to share in shifts with a bunch of unsavories in the a s s end of the Bronx. Now if you want to up your monthly cost to $600-800 per month a roommate situation is doable in the boroughs, or even some parts of Manhattan. Check sublet.com or roommates.com. Even check out the Village Voice. Craigslist might end up being your best bet. Craigslist has the most info, but you do have to cut through a lot of bullshit. Be prepared to put the time it. It is not easy to find a good roommate situation in NYC, but its not impossible. Your best situation is one where the leaseholder understands you are payig 50% of the rent (or 1/3 if there are more than one roommate) and will act acordingly with the apt. (i.e. no power trips) Good luck... It's not easy. Jut up your bottom line, and do some homework. And don't rule out craigslist. Just be wary
