A trip to the Big Apple doesn't get any greater than seeing its iconic skyline daily from the comfort of your holiday digs.
Although there are plenty of skyscrapers stays to choose from in NYC, not all will leave you high and dry like a bad day at Wall Street. There are affordable accommodation options too to let you live the high life!
Put the green bills back in your wallet and live like a local by staying at one of these NYC Airbnb's with skyline views under $350.
From $247.
