Embodying that romantic, small-town feeling, Park Slope is an iconic Brooklyn neighbourhood, and for good reason. Tree-lined streets, brownstones galore and leafy Prospect Park make this one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in the city. Union Street station is just a five-minute walk away, whisking you into Manhatten in half an hour. This apartment sits in a handsome red brick building in the heart of it all. The open kitchen, living and dining room is particularly spacious for a New York abode, with wood flooring and pristine white walls keeping a contemporary feel. A little office room sits off the living room should you need to catch up on work. The real bonus is the private garden. A glass door leads from the kitchen to a patio with dining for four – so it’s easy to dine alfresco if the weather is fine. A grassy stretch dappled with flowers sits beyond the patio for a peaceful moment in the heart of the city.

Perfect for anyone visiting the area to see friends or family, Rustic Maeve offers lots of space and a cosy interior. Some of the furniture is a bit mismatched, but if that’s not something you’re particularly concerned about then staying here will be a wonderful experience. With five different subway lines within a two-block radius, it’s also brilliantly connected – it will take less than twenty-five minutes, for example, to get to Lower Manhattan. If you’re in town to explore the area, then you'll love that beautiful Prospect Park is a thirteen-minute walk away.

There's nowhere that says New York living quite like a loft – it's as New York as skyscrapers, Times Square and Central Park, and this stylish place in hip Tribeca is a classic example. All the typical elements are here – we're talking an open, spacious living space with high ceilings, towering columns, huge windows and wooden floors.

What sets this home apart from others, though, is its fabulous art collection and many pieces from luminary designers such as Gerrit Rietveld and Sori Yanagi, as well as light sculptures by Marrow Project. We could certainly tell on viewing that this apartment is owned by a creative director and designer. Select a bottle from the wine cooler, choose one of the books off the well-stocked shelves and relax in style.

You can really live like a local in this home's location as well. This Lower Manhattan neighbourhood is known for its cobblestone streets lined with fashionable boutiques and chic restaurants or soak up the atmosphere in nearby China Town. Oh, yes and if you're a film buff, you can get your fill with the Tribeca Film Festival, held here every June.

Located in hip Brooklyn, within walking distance to Bushwick and Williamsburg, this home is perfectly located for those wanting to see a more authentic side of New York City. Though if you’re craving the glass towers of Manhattan, you’re just two blocks away from the G train and thirty minutes from the city. This spacious home has everything you need for a comfortable stay with your family and it's super stylish too – a little bit of boho flair with macrame wall art, bookshelves teeming with paperbacks and an acoustic guitar on the wall. Gather in the mornings and evenings in the open-plan kitchen, living room or dining room with soft, pastel-coloured furnishings and industrial-style windows that let in heaps of light. There’s a spacious dining table for entertaining, as well as the breakfast bar. It’s never too early to start mixing cocktails when you’re in the Big Apple. Why not take your drink upstairs to your private rooftop terrace and sip it sitting on the egg chair? There's a fire table for chilly evenings and here you can take in the sights and sounds of the city and enjoy a perfect sunset.

Welcome Hamper

It's a picture of minimalist Scandi style housed within a quintessential New York brownstone built in the 1800s, in one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Brooklyn – Fort Greene. Designed by a local architect to bring the calming presence of nature into the home, this pocket of tranquillity will knock your fluffy white socks off. Stepping in to look around at the decor, you'll find plenty of light wood furnishings and wood-slatted blinds, vibrant pops of colour, tasteful artwork and playful cloud-shaped cushions that we really loved. It's quiet, understated, and extremely functional. Enjoy a good book in the breathable and refreshing living space made of natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. Take a long soak in the stone and wood bathroom, whip up a few lite bites in the pristine island kitchen, or pen your thoughts at the antique public library desk – whatever you do around this peaceful apartment, you'll be perfectly at ease. Out back there is even a small terrace for some fresh air, enclosed by leafy trees for a naturally private space. The neighbourhood is authentically residential Brooklyn, lined with trees and townhouses with their iconic stoops. Take a wander by the casual eateries, hip bars and indie shops, before reaching the beautiful expanse of Prospect Park, only a twenty-minute stroll from your door.

Situated on a one-way street in the heart of Greenwich Village that Eleonor Roosevelt once called home, this six-storey Romanesque Revival building makes for a classic New York home from home.

Inside, the spacious apartment blends original nineteenth-century features and modern finishes offering a breathtaking fusion of styles. An open-plan living room/kitchen provides direct access to the outdoors via a balcony, alongside expansive views over downtown. So there's plenty of space to come together and socialise, whether you're stretched out on the sofa or preparing dinner in the handcrafted kitchen. 

Elsewhere, the bedrooms offer a haven of zen-like calm in the middle of Manhattan, with walk-in wardrobes and a Carrara marble en-suite off the main bedroom, adding a touch of luxury. Head upstairs, and you'll uncover a rooftop terrace that offers direct southern vistas over Washington Square Park, MacDougal Alley and the Empire State Building. 

Down at street level, the delights of Greenwich Village await. Undoubtedly Manhattan's most charming neighbourhood, it's attracted the city's quirky and creative types since the sixties. Uproarious comedy clubs and excellent restaurants make it a real nighttime destination, but there's plenty to do during daylight hours. Stroll half a block to the much-loved Washington Square Park, lay out on Pier 45, or wander up to Chelsea Market for cuisine from every part of the globe – both fifteen minutes away.

Macdougal Lofts

Balcony / Patio

While this home may be modest in square footage, it sure is mighty. Packing a punch in both convenience and amenities, a solo traveller or couple will be very happy here. With an impressive private terrace – that's almost as big as the home itself – you can thoroughly enjoy some downtime after a busy day with an aperitif under the stars. When you do find yourself at home, there's a comfortable sofa, writing desk and kitted-out kitchen complete with washer and dryer – a rarity in an NYC studio – so you can show up and start living as soon as you arrive. And did we mention that it's only a ten-minute walk to the Flatiron building? Continue for ten minutes more and you’ll reach the Empire State, the Morgan Library and Museum and the tucked away barbecue joints of bustling Koreatown.

Honey Mustard

Fabulous for family reunions or large group gatherings, this four-story Brooklyn townhouse is a fantastic choice that sleeps up to fifteen guests. Originally built in 1887, many of its original features have been beautifully preserved and you'll be spoiled with choice on where to sleep and socialise - in the chef's kitchen, or the private garden or should you wish to explore, you're moments from the Barclay Centre and the shops and cafes of Prospect Heights.

Wheelchair Access

Small yet mighty, this studio apartment is perfectly suited for a short escape in eclectic Williamsburg. A stroll around the immediate neighbourhood will have you wandering past quintessential brownstones, hip street art and chic boutiques. Just like its sophisticated interiors, this is a worldly location, just moments from plenty of outstanding cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as some brilliant vintage shopping. Elsewhere, hop on the subway – Marcy Av station is a six-minute walk away – and be at the historic Brooklyn Bridge within twenty minutes. Back inside, the home has been cleverly designed to take full advantage of the compact space – with twelve-foot ceilings, it actually feels a lot bigger than it is. Looking around at the decor, you'll find the elegant four-poster bed – fit for a king or queen – a stylish marble backsplash in the kitchenette and plenty of dark oak and light blue tones that makes the apartment feel grand yet cosy. The marble-clad bathroom benefits from a rainfall shower, providing everything you need for a sweet stay in the heart of the city.

Lofts in the Big Apple don’t get more iconic than this. High ceilings, exposed brick and pipes, Corinthian columns and a stainless steel, industrial style kitchen that radiates a forthright New York attitude. The contemporary design hits just the right note of comfort and cool, and its modern bathrooms offer luxurious relaxation—we’d be making a beeline for that Jacuzzi bath. After a hot coffee at the breakfast bar and placing a bottle of wine in the cooler for later, it’s time to get stuck into your NoHo locale. Situated just east of Broadway, connecting you to the heart of the dazzling Theatre District, and adjacent to the bohemian East Village, where you’re in touching distance of endless old-school bars, cool cocktail lounges, vintage shops and hip restaurants. If you want to head outside of Lower Manhattan, Bleecker Street subway station is a two-minute walk away. 

The Special Relationship

Smart TV

Small but stylish, this apartment is perfect for a solo traveller. It may be pocket-sized, but the design makes the most of the space. There's a small desk if you're in town on business, a compact kitchenette ideal for post-adventure snacks, and a quaint bedroom where you can relax after sightseeing around The Big Apple. Speaking of, you'll be in the trendy Lower East Side, a short stroll away from multiple subway stations and close to great bars and restaurants. This is a walk-up apartment, though, so climbing stairs is necessary. 

Bowery Baby

Located just off Stuyvesant Square Park, this practical apartment is surrounded by peaceful open spaces all while placing you in the heart of nonstop NYC. You're also a short walk from leafy Union Square, with plenty of casual eateries and bars nearby. Back home, the space is bright and comfortable with the large windows framing pleasant green views. While there's no desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace for those in the city on business. 

Sweet Lorraine

Located in a traditional brownstone building in the trendy Bed–Stuy neighbourhood, this apartment feels just like home. The open-plan living space is ideal for entertaining, and while the bedrooms are simple, they are plenty comfortable. The place benefits from two outside areas – there’s a furnished terrace for sundowners and a patio for snacks alfresco. If sightseeing is on the agenda, you’re a short walk from Nostrand Avenue station, connecting you to Downtown Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan and beyond.

We love this stylish home's location in hip Tribeca, a neighbourhood known for its cobblestone streets lined with fashionable boutiques and chic restaurants. Chinatown is a twenty-minute walk or eight-minute ride, while the One World Trade Centre is eight minutes on foot. The iconic Empire State building is a fifteen-minute drive (just over twenty minutes on the bicycles your lovely host Yvonne provides), or if you fancy some green space, Washington Market Park is a mere two-minute stroll.

Back at this apartment, head up to the gorgeous, private roof terrace and take in the views over the Freedom Tower. Inside, textural 3D artworks adorn the walls, and dark oak floors are enlivened with colourful rugs and furnishings. For the kids, there's a fantastic play area with plenty of toys, books and games. There's a home cinema set up too. Our favourite feature, though, has to be the swing in the living area – so random and yet so right. This playful home is perfect for a family.

From the moment you step inside this New York loft apartment, you can tell the owners are an artist and a chef. The huge, open living area has a gourmet-level kitchen and light floods in from a wall of windows, plus there's an incredible art and design collection. One bedroom is a little small but both are perfectly comfortable and the vast loft-style living area makes up for it. You’re in the heart of Tribeca here where the movie-set-like cast iron loft buildings are home to endless restaurants, bars and even food markets. Plus, the Lower East Side is right next door. 

The Artist's Loft

Experience one of New York's trendiest areas from this sleek apartment nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village. You'll be within easy reach of Union Square market, with hip eateries and bars nearby. For those on a sightseeing trip, popular spots such as Flatiron Building, the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden are all a short walk away. With a well-equipped kitchen and dining table there's potential for eating in, while the laptop-friendly desk serves as a nice space for working remotely – though some street noise should be expected. 

Manhattan's Calling

Experience one of New York's trendiest areas from this eclectic loft, nestled in the heart of Soho. With a well-equipped kitchen, breakfast bar and dining table, there's potential for eating in, but the cafes and restaurants lining the streets just outside your doorstep might convince you otherwise. Try a different one every day between visiting Rockefeller Park, Washington Square Park and China Town.  There's plenty else to see within walking distance, but the public transport links nearby can also get you to The Empire State Building or Manhattan Park in minutes.  That's a thumb's up on location – now throw in light-letting oversized windows, plenty of space and an office, and you're onto something.

Located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of the Clinton Hill neighbourhood in Brooklyn, this characterful duplex is situated on the upper three floors of an original Brownstone. It's stylishly decorated throughout, and we love the plentiful period details, the sash windows, attractive fireplace and exposed brick walls. There might be quite a few stairs to contend with but other than that this warm and welcoming home is hard to fault. Lovely terrace too!

This three-storey Brooklyn townhouse is nestled in a vibrant and walkable neighbourhood. At full capacity, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in one of the two colourful living rooms, and parties strictly aren't allowed here. With a projector in one of the living rooms, a wine bar in the kitchen, space for alfresco dining and Sonos throughout the house, it's ideal for large groups who want to feel right at home. We think it's especially great for families – the fifth bedroom has a cot for little ones, and a range of items are available for baby-proofing the home, from table corner guards to plug socket covers.

Brooklyn, Brooklyn

From the swoon-worthy brick walls and wooden beams to the mustard yellow sofa with furry throw pillows, this studio apartment has New York cool written all over it. 

Though it may be snug, it has everything you'll need for a relaxed stay, including a sleek kitchenette, a cosy living area and an in-suite washer and dryer – a rarity in NYC. There's a trendy vibe here that fits with the super cool locale. Business travellers will be happy to see the desk – perfect if you need to do a spot of work – while those in town for sightseeing will appreciate the proximity to 23rd Street station, just eight minutes away on foot. 

Gramercy Park is a small pocket of Manhattan known for its upscale eateries and village atmosphere, and your prime locale puts you within easy walking distance of both the Flatiron Building (ten minutes) and the Empire State Building (twenty minutes). We recommend popping over to Union Square Greenmarket (a thirteen-minute walk) on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays for some fresh fruit and veg to use in a delicious dinner at home. Or if you're in the mood to go out, grab a drink and a bite to eat at one of the neighbourhood's buzzing bars, restaurants and 24-hour delis.

Gramercy Yellow

When exposed brick and chandeliers combine, you know you're in for a treat. This vibrant, cosy apartment is filled with colourful art and unique touches like a skylight in the shower and a cute little garden area outside. It’s a small home, but it has everything you need for a convenient stay in New York. The kitchen's well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and the open-plan layout is perfect for a chill night in with Netflix and wine. Location is really the biggest perk here: sandwiched between Soho and the West Village, you're right in the heart of all the downtown action. Whether you're a culture vulture keen on gallery hopping and ducking into jazz bars, or a fashionista ready to do some damage in one of the world's best neighbourhoods for shopping, you'll be in the thick of it all – plus the dining and nightlife options are some of the best the city has to offer.

Chandelier Life

Quirky details, like the exposed brick wall and fashion photography prints, inject character into this otherwise minimal home. The bedrooms are on the small side, but the beds are seriously comfortable, with a TV in both. It feels a bit compact, especially with the narrow shape of the kitchen and the dining table taking up most of the communal space. Nonetheless, the location in Nolita makes up for this – surrounded by little shops and cool restaurants, you won’t be spending much time cooking anyway.

Editorial Spread

Located on a charming cobblestone street in the South Street Seaport and built in 1793, this lovely, European-inspired loft was once an ice house. Sparely furnished and set across two floors with an intentional open-plan living space, the easy flow between rooms is freeing. Both levels boast wood-beamed ceilings and original artwork created by the host himself. While this isn't the most luxurious home on our books, it's cosy and bright, a fluid mix of rustic and modern. 


The Cobblestone

Beach / Pool Towels

Location is everything here! Situated on a really charming street in Greenwich Village, The Itty-Bitty is perfectly positioned to some of the city's best restaurants and bars. This is a 300-square foot walk-up, but so long as you don't intend to do some serious cooking or massively spread out, this cosy apartment will do just the trick. 


The Itty-Bitty

DVD Library

Hammock

Equipped with thirty windows, this home boasts a 360° view of the city, including views of the Manhattan Bridge and St. Theresa’s church. This isn’t something we take lightly– getting any views in New York is a highlight, let alone ones as charming as these. Host Manon has lovingly adorned the entire space in an eclectic, bohemian look that perfectly suits its vibrant neighbourhood. Situated between the Lower East Side and Chinatown, there is an abundance of great restaurants, bars, and boutique shops. Plus, it’s easy to walk into Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge. 

The Imagined Life

Access to Business Centre

This apartment epitomises playful Brooklyn cool. It is compliant with the NYC law, and has a short term rental license. 

Set on the ground floor of a classic brownstone, you have the rare luxury of a back garden, with its own lawn and table for al fresco lunches beneath the New York sun. You will be totally charmed by the interiors here – pops of bright complimentary colours greet you from every corner, while original facets like exposed brickwork and the wooden walled bathrooms have been retained. 

Located right in the centre of Brooklyn, you are well placed to explore all the local delights. There’s plenty on your doorstep, from a supermarket and a French wine shop on the corner of the street, to a juice bar and vegan café next door where you can have a healthy breakfast before a day of exploring.  For great art and excellent restaurants, walk fifteen minutes into neighbouring Bushwick. When you’re ready to venture further afield, walk nine minutes to the metro station to ride into Lower Manhattan in fifteen minutes.

Eclectic Feel

Located in trendy Williamsburg, you'll have plenty of hip bars and indie shops nearby, while the ferry over to Manhattan is well within reach. The apartment itself is modern and practical, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. There's a desk if you need to work remotely, while the uncluttered bedrooms are ideal for decompressing after sightseeing. The compact kitchen is well-equipped for preparing light bites and quick meals, but when dinnertime arrives we recommend heading out and sampling the local eateries nearby.

Whether you're in Manhattan for business or pleasure, this apartment is a fuss-free spot to rest your head. It's perched in bustling Midtown East, just a few blocks from the East River and walking distance from landmarks like Rockefeller Center and the MoMA. The apartment itself isn't wow-worthy, but it's stylish enough and the kitchen is well-equipped for an NYC pad. Be sure to take advantage of on-site amenities, ranging from a shared library and rooftop terrace to a communal fitness centre and playroom for little ones. There's even rare on-site parking, but you’ll need to pay to use it.
