looking for off campus housing

Hello

I presently attend the University of Cincinnati. This spring semester I will be on an internship in Yonkers approximately 5 minutes from Sarah Lawrence College. I am trying to find short term rental from January-May. I do not know the area at all and thought i would try this website to see if someone could give me pointers on websites to search, areas to stay away from, good areas, etc.

thanks so much
