New York City is one of the ultimate vacation destinations because there is so much to see and do. When you're ready to retreat from all the hustle and bustle of the day, why go back to a simple hotel room when you can stay in your very own New York City rental apartment? If you've got a trip to the Big Apple planned, chances are your days will be packed with theater, shopping, sight-seeing, or any of various other activities that make New York the place to be. From a simple studio in Queens to a luxury rental condo on the Upper East Side, there is a vacation rental for every budget and taste, and it is the perfect way to feel like a “true” New Yorker on your big city vacation.

A New York City vacation is not only fun for families, but can also be an educational trip for children. Why tell your kids about the Statue of Liberty when you can bring them to see it themselves? The whole family can learn something at the Museum of Natural History, or bring young art-lovers to the Museum of Modern Art for an unforgettable experience. If you're taking the family to New York City, apartment or condo rentals are a great choice for any number of people, and you won't have to pay for two or more hotel rooms if you have a spacious three-bedroom apartment in the heart of the Manhattan instead.

Taking a trip to New York City can be a bit of a splurge. Between Broadway show tickets, wonderful restaurant dinners, shopping, and whatever else you plan to do in New York, it is hard to save up that kind of money in these tough times and every penny counts. Whether you are taking an extended stay in New York City or traveling with a large group of people, hotel rooms can really take a chunk out of your spending money. With discounts on extended stays and vacation rentals available with as many as 3 or more bedrooms, try saving money by using a rental apartment or condo instead of a hotel. Use the extra cash to buy yourself an “I Love New York” t-shirt, because after your unforgettable experience in the Big Apple there is no doubt you will fall in love with it.
