It’s no secret that rents in New York City are through the roof. But rather than examine the sensible places, we thought we’d take a look at the most ludicrously expensive and the real budget stays. Full disclosure, these two picks are not necessarily the most expensive or cheapest on Airbnb and we looked at long-term rentals where discounts may apply. And the winner is…
This Midtown West modern two-bedroom apartment
[Airbnb]Right in the heart of Manhattan, this place boasts everything you’d expect for an apartment that costs $14,574 (or $561 a night) a month plus a frickin’ sky deck and fitness center.
[Airbnb]Could you imagine having your morning coffee with a view like that laid out in front of you? Or waking up to it…
[Airbnb]Well “imagine” is about as much as we assume you can do. Unless you’re one of the 192 people who left a positive review for this bank-busting pad (who are these people?). Thought not. Maybe this next one is a little more your speed…

But for us, there’s a clear winner for the crappiest Airbnb available in NYC. It’s so spectacularly bad, we almost feel like renting it just to check it’s real. Almost…

[Giphy]Fair question, Leo. It all seems too good to be true, right? But no, this unique opportunity is genuinely situated in a dental surgery, which requires that you vacate your sofa spot before 9AM (for real).
[Airbnb]And just when you thought it was just prime real estate on this comfy-looking sofa you got with this incredible deal…
[Airbnb]Yep. A four-poster bath! Complete with creepy statue which definitely does not have a camera hidden inside. Er… I think we’ll keep looking.
