I'm going to move from France to NY for my job and since it's a last-minute thing, I'm kind of anxious about my housing situation.
My employer recommends that I find a room in a residence for a week and then search for an apartment share on Craigslist when I arrive in NY. But I called all the residences and they have no room available.
Has anyone ever tried sublets on Craigslist? I liked the residence option because it's safe but I'm concerned about Internet listings.
Also, I know I'll probably be in NY by the end of the month but don't know the exact day of my departure yet. Is it easy to find a temporary place at the last minute? And my employer told me you can find a shared apartement in less than a week; is this true?
I read the entire thread before posting this, there isn't any info relevant to my case yet. Thanks in advance for your tips!
