Why no live price? Residences often run specials they don't put on their own websites, and most will negotiate: a sharper rate, breakfast included, early check-in or late check-out. Some will also help with theatre tickets or restaurant bookings. A fixed online price can't show any of that, so ask and the residence replies to you directly with what it can do.
