I may need some furnished short term housing, like a month or two, while I figure some stuff out. Has anyone tried https://zeusliving.com/ or https://www.hellolanding.com? Source: over 1 year ago

I've used Zeus Living - I had no credit history, so they asked for a pay stub. They had awesome customer support, I highly recommend them! Source: about 2 years ago

You can try Zeus. It's somewhere between airbnb and traditional apartment, but requires 30-day minimum stay and you can stay for a year+. There is a background check component, but there's no mention of a credit check. Might be worth checking out. Source: about 2 years ago

I’ve used Zeus ( https://zeusliving.com ) before for a 3 month rental out in Santa Clara. Decently priced (with Covid discounts) and responsive support team. Source: almost 3 years ago

You can also check sites like Roomi or Craigslist to see if there are people looking for roommates. Source: about 1 year ago

Go to https://roomiapp.com/ and put in your budget. Anything off the L will give you pretty quick access to nightlife hotspots in Bushwick, Williamsburg, and East Village. If you're on facebook search for Gypsy Housing, lots of folks looking for roommates on there. Source: over 1 year ago

And lastly, most people look for apartments via StreetEasy but given you are looking for an open room in an apartment with other occupants, you might want to give Roomi a try. Source: about 2 years ago

I’d actually recommend Roomi instead of Airbnb, since Airbnb is going to be very expensive and you’d end up with a room in an Airbnb anyway. Here is a filter for Brooklyn for your budget and here is one for Manhattan! Source: about 2 years ago
