How can I get an affordable room/apartment in NYC for 3 months?

Question

I want to spend two to three months in New York City next year (starting April) and would like to know whether you know where to find accomodation. Since I am German I guess this whole credit check that people have to go through to get a (furnished) apartment could be a bit difficult. I also don't want to pay tons of money for a real estate agent, when I only intend to stay for such a short period of time. 
I already looked at Craigslist, but there are only very short term apartments available.

No matter what they are going to want to do a credit check I just don't know how they'ld do it for some one from another country. Saddly rent in NYC is not cheap. For a crappy 1 bedroom apparment can cost a $1000 USD on up. That's unfurnished. 

Even though the apartments terms may state shorter or longer than you intend to stay you should still call and ask about if they'll lease to you. Some complexes say 1 year lease cause that's what they want but they can do short term.

NOTHING in NYC is cheap thats one of the most expensive cities to live in Chicago is way cheaper than newyork. For a studio in NYC you would pay over $900+ dollars a month. Good luck with that! You can try http://www.rent.com or http://apartmentguide.com or http://apartmentfinder. com Or you can try one of those roommate websites so that way you dont have to pay rent all by yourself.
