Imminent Immigrant: Advice on Subletting

My girlfriend and I are moving from London to Brooklyn to start new jobs and are desperately looking for a nice apartment to sublet for a few months while we find the place we want to live. We’ve scoured Craigslist but all the good places are already taken or dodgy as heck. Any advice from you locals as to where we might have better luck?
park slope food coop has sublets listed sometimes
also maybe try calling universities Columbia, NYU etc, academics often looking to sublet for semester-long stints
My husband and I relocated to NYC a year ago and looked for a short-term sublet, but we couldn’t find one and ended up signing a year-long lease. Here are a couple websites to try: http://www.jumppost.com, http://www.sublet.com, and Stephanie Diamond’s Listing Project,www.stephaniediamond.com/listings.html (she’s an artist who sends out a weekly email with studios/sublets/apartments and house swaps). Good luck!
But just a nice cuppa and a slice of fruit cake, right Denton? No burning effigies of the President. Or King George, for that matter.
For sublets, you could try running a classified ad on the New York Review of Books website (nybooks.com).

I know of a nice 1+ bedroom brownstone garden-level sublet in prime North Park Slope starting in January and running at least through May. If that timing might work for you I’d be happy to provide details.
Wow, thanks for the fantastic response, folks. Lots of good leads.
I agree with Maly and buttermilk channel. Check out the large no fee rental buildings that are all over the place. They are are all pretty nice and will save you alot of trouble in the long run
The Brooklyner, 80 DKLB, Avalon – Ft Greene, 184 Kent, 34 Berry are all nice and close to Manhattan.
Try calling the Junior League of London. The JLL has a large American expat contingency. Perhaps, someone is moving to London leaving the Brooklyn flat behind.
