    Try having to go to NYC at a few days notice ouch… Like all I could find was $150… I just rented a uhaul and used my gym membership… Just last year I could have been in a nice room in someone’s house for $40

      Yeah. A few years ago I got a 3-bedroom apartment in Denver for something like $100/night. It was incredible.

      Now…I dunno. Haven’t done AirBnB in a while

    • I highly doubt these prices. I live in Brooklyn and had to deal with a shit Airbnb next door to me. Their shitty closet was going for $400-$500 a night depending on the time of year. It was also absolutely miserable to live next to.

      Meanwhile hotels in the area are maybe $200 at the cheapest, not really sure where you’re seeing $150. In Manhattan proper they start at $300 minimum.

        I was mostly in LIC or the Bronx… I tend to do Jersey city now. I rent a private room so I’m not being part of the problem.
