While there are plenty of child-friendly hotels in New York City, for large families hotels are not the most ideal locations. If you are staying for an extended period of time, sharing a small space with your kids may not equal the relaxing holiday you need. An alternative is to rent an apartment through Airbnb or NYC’s local listings. Large families will save money through the self-service and have a space that is ideal for excited kids. Property prices are astronomical in New York, with a feature on commission rebates by Yoreevo detailing how real estate brokers are paid an average of $60,000 for each place sold. This means that there are lots of landlords looking to rent out their apartments in top locations that most people would give an arm and a leg to live in. Your family can experience what it is like to live in a swish New York apartment as seen in TV shows and films. Just don’t get too may ideas of moving into one on a more permanent basis.

 

Follow our tips and you’ll be well on your way to making new family memories in the “city that never sleeps.
