Vacation Rentals are furnished apartments that are rented from 2 days to under 1 month. We’ve even got some vacation rentals that can be rented for one-night stays. You’ll find a full calendar of availabilities for each of our vacation rentals on our website.
New York Habitat has also longer-term furnished apartments in New York and rooms in shared homes, but today we will speak about vacation rentals.
So “Why book a vacation rental in New York from New York Habitat?” Here are some great reasons:
• Vacation Rentals are Economical! You get more for your money and pay less than a hotel. Vacation Rentals have more space. – Forget the cramped hotel room. Most Apartments have a living and sleeping space plus a kitchen.
• Apartments have an equipped kitchen – Eating out three meals per day can get expensive. With a kitchen, you can cook at home, eat healthy and save money!
•
• Feel like a local – Don’t walk out of the hotel lobby, walk out of your front door, onto the streets of New York. You’re a local now!
• Keep your keys like at home – Make a vacation rental your home away from home.
• No hidden fees – Unlike hotels, you won’t be hit with phone bills, or an invoice for drinking that bottled water from the fridge. With Vacation Rentals, all utility charges are included and you decide what to stock in your fridge… at local market prices.
So those are a few really good reasons to book a vacation rental over a Hotel room in New York. And if you’re coming to New York, there are some other great options or “extras” you can get.
• Houses – Houses in Manhattan? Yes! Townhouses, historical homes and classic brownstones will provide comfort and space. Especially if you’re travelling in a group.
• Laundry – As airlines continue to reduce the permitted size of suitcases and charge more for extra luggage, we are all packing less for our vacations. Book a vacation rental with laundry facilities and you’ll be able to make do with a smaller wardrobe.

So with all of these advantages and extras shown in this video, why not book a vacation rental in New York.
I’m surprised that more people don’t skip hotels and stay in a private home! Everytime I have come to visit NYC I’ve stayed in a vacation rental. I used to do hotels, but its just so much better to rent out a vacation rental…and you’re right its WAAAAY cheaper.
This was a very informative video. I think next time I come to the city I will try staying in a vacation rental.
Boy if I had only known about this the time my friends and I stayed over in NYC after the prom (we’re from NJ). We tried to get a midtown hotel room for under $200 a night for 4 people (and that was in 2004!). We ended up doing it for like $75 a person but we stayed in a roach invested slumhole. I bet we could have gotten a much nicer place if we knew about vacation rentals.
I always thought it would be much more comfortable to rent an apartment over a staying in a hotel, and this video helped that thought out with many solid arguments!
This video is really useful you can see the difference between renting a hotel room and and a vacation renatal apartment! The white board really helps out too.
It is great to have an acredited company to turn to for renting an apartment in New York and knowing that it will actually exist when you show up!
I am soory people but I love hotels, please, who does not like to feel pampered ?? Room services, lobby, turn down etc… Like you can have all that in a vacation rental ? I would rather go to a Luxury Hotel in New York City than dealing with a vacational rental process!
It couldn’t be more handy to be able to rent an apartment and not have to see it beforehand.
Answer to Faouta:
Yes indeed, it’s a different product, a different service. Some people may prefer hotels, some may prefer a vacation rental for the reasons explained above. The person looking for a vacation rental is often looking for a more authentic experience, living like a local, cooking at home, having more space, traveling in a family or group… all while paying less than a luxury hotel.

for me I must choose vacation rentals for my stay
rather than hotel, in vacation rental you can experience
a lot a very exiting moment with your love ones.
It is important to understand that people who are looking for a vacation rental home are generally looking for more than they can get with a brand-name hotel. They typically want space, privacy, laundry facilities and – almost always – a cheaper rate .
Rates are reasonable and the place is all yours, unlike a hotel or resort, you owe it to your family.
I prefer to stay in a place that does not have too much hustle and bustle. Nice and quiet in the middle of real living. It is quite an experience to see how the locals live.
Thanks for the post,This video is really useful you can see the difference between renting a hotel room and and a vacation rental apartment! The white board really helps out too.
