Travelling to New York City can be expensive, but a new venture has managed to cut the cost of accommodation dramatically.

For less than 40 dollars a night, tourists on a tight budget can enjoy million dollar views of Manhattan from the back of a taxi cab!

Entrepreneur Jonathan Powley recently started offering vans and New York taxi cabs as overnight rentals on Airbnb. Each of the vehicles has been converted to accommodate a large bed and a fan. There obviously is no room for a bathroom in a cab, but Powley has made a list of restaurants in the area that let his guests use theirs.

The so-called ¡°rolling rooms¡± have already attracted plenty of attention from tourists seeking a central location without a big-city price tag – you¡¯re only one stop from Grand Central Station, and three stops from Times Square in less than 10 minutes.

The business owner said that he thinks, ¡®People that do it are just the type that want to try something different.¡¯

Difficult words: venture (a business which involves risk), budget (the money you want/can spend on something), entrepreneur (a businessman who comes up with a new idea).
