This review is from: Living Smart in New York City: The Ultimate Guide for the Budget Savvy (Softcover) (Paperback) It's okay, but based on some of the review by others I thought this book would have a better discription of neighborhoods & the advantages/disadvantages of living in them. Gave a good overview of how the rental market works, but is missing lots of the free fun stuff & advice given in some other books. |
