nyc: I am taking my 2 daughters to NYC in June. We are looking for the "cheapest" place to stay in a safe neighborhood.|||I think most Hostels accept children, as long as they are accompanied by a parent. Hostels are cheap hotels for world travelers. Hostelworld.com will pull up hostels and you can also view hotels. AirBnB.com is a GREAT site for renting peoples apartments for the weekend/week. That is great because it's more homey and usually they are a lot cheaper than a hotel. Regarding safe neighborhoods...Manhattan is pretty much safe all over now as long as you stay below 110th Street. South Brooklyn is very safe and close to Manhattan as well (Williamsburg, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights). The days of old scary NYC are gone and it's all pretty sanitized and family friendly now. I would try airbnb.com. Good luck and have fun!!|||The West Village is not rough at all. It's actually one of the most expensive zip codes in the city. It's somewhat 'colorful' because of of it's mixture of yuppies, gays and lesbians and college students. Tagging is considered art more these days than anything else. It's become more appreciated.
