Renting in NY - Upper East? (sublet, apartments, to rent)

[newbieMM2008]

Hi All,

Just need a bit of advice, I will be travelling to new york around Sept/Oct time for treatment in MSKCC, I will prob need to stay in NY for about 4 - 6 weeks and would like to rent an apartment for my family in that area - close to hospital etc!

Questions are; how much would a 2 bed apartment in that area cost per month (approx) When would I need to look at booking the apartment? Do apartments come furnished in NY? And any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It's going to be a challenge finding a sublet for such a short time, which is essentially what you're looking for. I'm guessing that a 2BR, furnished in the MSKCC would likely go for $4000 and up/month. But check on craigslist...
