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.

Comfort and style combine at this Brooklyn apartment, making it a great base for those visiting the city. If you're looking to work while you're away, you'll find a fully-equipped workstation here. Meanwhile, the sleek chef's kitchen encourages home cooking and laidback evenings at home when you're not out sampling the local eateries. Location-wise, the home is well positioned on a tree-lined block in peaceful Carroll Gardens. There are trendy restaurants and lively bars nearby, as well as plenty of open green spaces, museums and the Barclays Center. 

Brooklyn Mystic

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.

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.

Over in Carroll Gardens, we were taken aback by the attention to detail that has gone into designing this nineteenth-century brick home. There's a strong cohesion between the modern furnishings, from the transparent dining set and bold pieces of artwork to the statement lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling. The black kitchen is relatively simple in comparison, but no less stylish. The overall effect is helped by the fact that it's an innately bright space thanks to the large windows letting in copious amounts of natural light — this is seen best in the bay-style cove where the main table sits. The local neighbourhood has a strong Italian-American lineage and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby where you can see this culture still thriving. The area is also rich with art galleries, with seven alone to be found within a fifteen-minute walk.

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.





It Don’t Mean a Thing if It Ain’t Got That Swing

What could be more New York than an ultra-cool loft apartment? The antique decor, bare brick walls and open floor plan will cater well to free spirits and old souls alike. In terms of entertainment, there's a movie theatre-style projector screen measuring 100 inches, as well as a vintage Akai stereo. Out of the huge windows that take up one side of the space, you can see the original headquarters for the Williamsburg Savings Bank and if you head down to street level, you'll find your host's jazz lounge, where guests enjoy hefty discounts should you want a nightcap to the sound of some toe-tapping jams. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, you can be in Greenwich Village or SoHo in under half an hour on the subway. For those who want to take the scenic route, it only takes forty minutes to cross Williamsburg Bridge and reach the other side of the East River.


Beaujolais

This chic, light-filled loft boasts an envy-inducing location in the heart of Soho. Huge windows and 14-foot ceilings mean that it’s a bright and welcoming home, with an open-plan living and dining space that’s sure to impress even the most discerning travellers. The chef’s kitchen will delight gastronomes – though there are plenty of restaurants, bars and coffee shops nearby if you prefer to leave the cooking to the professionals. This comfortable and well-equipped home is an excellent base, whether you’re in NYC for business or leisure. There’s even a convenient desk for those needing to work during their stay.

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

Sitting in a beautiful brownstone, this Clinton Hill apartment is a sophisticated home in a cultural part of Brooklyn. It's in good shape with large windows welcoming lots of light and an open-concept kitchen perfect for socialising and cooking simultaneously. It's not the most luxurious home on our books, but comfortable and inviting for mature couples or a group of friends.

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.

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.

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.

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

Outdoor Kitchen

This home doesn’t try too hard, and that’s part of its charm. The building is almost a hundred years old, and as it used to be a tenement block, there would have been four or five places in the space that this roomy home now takes up. The living area benefits from large windows and tonnes of natural light, making the plush grey sectional a lovely spot to spend the afternoon reading or napping. Of course, if you have work to do instead, the corner desk is all set up for hitting the ground running. Prepare an elaborate feast in the huge kitchen (massive by New York standards) and enjoy it at the elegant dining table. There’s lots of exciting artwork (and taxidermy) around, contributing to the home’s quirky personality, plus two newly renovated bathrooms - no morning queues here. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll be deep in the East Village, with endless options for good, hip restaurants and watering holes that range from dive bars to artisanal cocktail destinations. Plus, you’re just a four-minute walk from Tompkins Square Park, where you can enjoy one of the city’s lovely green spaces.

Balcony / Patio

This charming duplex lies in Manhattan's West Village. Spread over multiple levels with the kitchen up on the mezzanine, groups will have plenty of space here, though you'll need to climb a lot of stairs. If you're looking for a home base while working remotely, you'll find computer equipment and standing desks to maximise productivity. The private garden is spread over two tiers and is equipped for barbecues, with outdoor seating and sun loungers. While children and little ones aren't permitted, we think friend groups will love it here thanks to its proximity to bars, restaurants and shops.

Madison Square South

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.

Bauhaus Quarters

Tucked in the heart of NoHo, this apartment transports you to the vibrant heart of Manhattan. And while the location is buzzing with activity, this home provides a calm sanctuary to disconnect and unwind. Highlights include the private terrace and the open-plan living space with a fire – perfect for cosy movie nights. It’s also family-friendly with children’s amenities and housekeeping available for an additional fee. Outside, you’ll find everything you could need within walking distance – including great public transport links. 


NoHo Serenity

DVD Library

This Brooklyn home is certainly one of the most unique in our collection. From the industrial bones to the live aquariums and the vintage mannequins and collectibles, everything about this lofted space speaks for itself. Not for the minimalist at heart, this home guarantees to be a one-of-a-kind experience that still caters to total comfort, with a plush sofa, sumptuous bed and outfitted kitchen. We especially love the fish tanks that your host so lovingly tends to – the neon colors add excitement and beauty to even the quietest of nights in. Right outside your doorstep, you’ll find the bustle of East Williamsburg. You’re just a five-minute walk from the lauded pizza restaurant Roberta’s and near plenty of excellent thrift shops, delicious cafes and lively bars. Walk around and admire the street art, new pop-ups and people-watching. Or, to reach Manhattan, simply jump on the train for ten minutes and explore a whole new borough.

This airy rooftop apartment places you in New York City's Greenwich Village, ideal for a city escape. Spread over the top two floors of a four-storey building, you'll need to climb stairs here. But we think the views from the rooftop terrace are lovely, and there's seating and a table for enjoying evening drinks or alfresco meals up there. Public transport and hotspots like Central Park and the Empire State Building are within easy reach, so whether you're travelling for work or simply sightseeing, you won't get more central than this.

Manhattan City Sky

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.

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.




Sculpted by Light

This studio apartment may be quite small but it truly makes up for that with its fantastic location. Just a four-minute walk to the Hudson River Park, you can spend relaxing moments watching the waters and the world go by. Start your mornings here with a coffee and bagel, and then work up a sweat in the building’s on-site gym. 

Go for leisurely stroll alongside The High Line – which is reachable in just twelve minutes on foot from your door. Or, explore the cafes, bars, and galleries of the West Village – which is a short nine-minute walk away. 

Greenwich village – with its historic LGBT+ venue, The Stonewall Inn – is also not far away, and can be reached within just nine minutes on foot. Plus, New York’s great public transport means you can see everything the city has to offer from the Flat Iron building and Empire State – reachable in roughly fourteen minutes to the Rockefeller Center – reachable in twenty-six minutes. Whatever’s on your New York bucket list, this home is in a prime location to reach it all. 

Hudson Strolls

Ideal for exploring all that NYC has to offer, with Soho, Noho Union Square, and NYU all within walking distance, this East Village apartment ticks a lot of boxes. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited here, but you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay in the city. If you’re travelling for business, the desk makes remote working a breeze, while the outdoor terrace is an added bonus – just the spot to relax in after a day of sightseeing. 

East Village Charm

Warm and cosy, despite New York City's cold temperatures come winter (don't worry there's air conditioning for the summer months too), this little alcove of an apartment is both a humble and practical choice to enjoy while in town on a short trip. Perfect for solo travellers or couples, in particular, you'll be amidst all of Manhattan's action here. While the location is this home's biggest attraction, its clean white interiors and studio layout invite guests to catch some respite with ease and comfort between activities from day through to night – you are in the city that never sleeps after all. Located just down the road from the Tenement Museum, the apartment sits in one of New York's most historic (and most authentic) neighbourhoods. The Lower East Side is known for its careful balance of grunge and chic, so if you're after a true New York experience (in terms of space as well), this is a great choice in an even better location. And since you’re so close to some of the best boutique shops, restaurants and bars in the city, chances are you’re likely to spend more time out than in, which makes this the perfect place to come back to after a busy day. 

The Alcove

Take the tastiest bite from The Big Apple when you choose this stellar home. Conveniently based in the very heart of NYC, nestled between Lower Manhattan and SoHo on the famous road of Broadway, this penthouse apartment provides the quintessential New York City experience. Here, you'll be within easy reach of some quality art galleries and quirky museums, as well as sightseeing spots such as Washington Square Park. Inside the home, you'll find contemporary furnishings that still have a warm and welcoming feel. We reckon it makes a fantastic base for exploring this iconic city.

The Secret of Manhattan

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

Dive headfirst into the ultimate New York experience. This home has a chef's kitchen and a barbecue for meals on the private terrace, as well as an outdoor lounge for post-dinner drinks. Plus, with a Peloton bike and Lululemon Studio Workout Mirror, you'll find everything you need to stay on top of your workouts. Though the space feels calm, the city sounds will gently remind you that you're in the heart of the Big Apple. Just outside, the galleries and restaurants of Union Square and NoHo are waiting to be explored. However, we won't blame you if the allure of an evening at home with a martini in the garden followed by a soak in the marble tub proves irresistible.

Gramercy Garden

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

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

This apartment is a truly unique space, offering you the chance to fully embrace the trendy Brooklyn lifestyle. Whether you're in the city to work, see friends, or simply enjoy New York's intoxicating atmosphere, you'll love using this gorgeous spot as your home base. 

Step inside, and you'll find a bright space filled with eclectic furniture and one-of-a-kind artworks. Spend some time admiring the sculptures and paintings, before picking a book from the impressive selection and flopping down on the sofa to read. If you need to catch up on your emails, then there's a desk space you can use for work, and the wine fridge will cool a bottle of your favourite vintage ready for an evening tipple. 

The surrounding neighbourhood of Bed-Stuy is similarly special – lined with historic brownstone townhouses, there is a fantastic mix of cultures to explore in this corner of Brooklyn. Guests seeking an authentic side to NYC will love exploring this area and its many cool, contemporary restaurants and cafes. And, if you want to head into Manhattan, just jump on the subway at Nostrand Avenue station to travel there in around twenty minutes.

Set in the heart of Chelsea’s historic district, this stunning, family-friendly townhouse is appointed with a traditional interior that will delight guests looking for all the comforts of home as well as a splendid location. If you fancy yourself a bit of a chef (or just like having nice food cooked for you), you’ll love the impressive kitchen with its all-modern appliances. While most of the home is outfitted with luxury finishes and high-end furnishings, the hosts have cleverly created a children’s floor, equipped with paint easels, a keyboard and lots of games to help create the ultimate family experience in the heart of the Big Apple. In keeping with your masterpiece of a home, Chelsea in Manhattan's art district. You can spend days wandering galleries displaying work from both established and emerging artists, while the High Line is a living work of art in its own right.
