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.

Forget Greenpoint and Astoria. It’s all about the East Village right now. Packed with vintage stores, dive bars and extraordinary eateries, you could spend a lifetime here and never get bored. You’ll find this stylish apartment slap-bang in the middle of it all, as well as just an eight-minute walk from all major subway lines. Yes, it’s compact (expected given its location), but its stylish interior is decked out with 60s kinetic art and hand-picked furniture. The icing on the cake is the private outdoor space – rarer than a unicorn in Manhattan. Enjoy sundown cocktails at your own alfresco tiki bar before heading out for the night. You’re in for a treat – the East Village keeps the excitement going long after other neighbourhoods have hit the pillow.

Formerly a synagogue, this prized 4-story townhouse is one of New York City's most unique homes. Younger sophisticates will love this setting, but the design and layout are ageless in appeal. It's a marvel and masterpiece - from the 22-foot cathedral ceilings, to the three terrace gardens and chef's kitchen, you'll find artistry in every corner.  Be amongst the high-fly celebs and enjoy a five star hotel-style experience in this rare and coveted gem.

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.

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

This apartment is ideally suited to those looking to drop their bags and head out from the get-go. Its major draw is the fabulous location, placing you in the thick of NYC. Just a short walk away you'll reach the iconic Flatiron Building, the Empire State Building, and Union Square – though this does mean that some noise should be expected. Inside, it's surprisingly spacious for a studio flat, with a kitchen and dining area tucked neatly around the corner. There's a sofa bed for flexible sleeping, but we only recommend this for younger children.

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

Nestled in New York City's vibrant Flatiron neighbourhood, this pet-friendly studio makes a fabulous base for business and leisure trips. The kitchenette is small but well-equipped for rustling up light bites or a quick breakfast, and with plenty of restaurants in the surrounding area, you'll want for nothing when it comes to trying out local cuisine. The nearby subway opens up the city for commuting and sightseeing, while hotspots like Madison Square Park, the Empire State Building, and NYC's bustling Koreatown are an easy walk away.

Sitting on your private rooftop terrace, looking over the concrete skyline, is a once-in-a-lifetime moment that stays with you forever. The magical experience can be relived over and over again, all in a beautiful outdoor space that's reserved just for you.

The rooftop may be the outstanding highlight of this deluxe apartment, but the interior has a lot to love too. It spans across two floors, offering wide space that is incredibly rare in the centre of the city. it's an open-plan social area that's perfect for chatting about your New York adventure.

That adventure can begin the moment you step onto the charming sophistication of Chelsea. Get a bagel for breakfast with a cup of coffee and walk amongst the boutique stores and suave cafes. Carry on walking just a few more minutes and you'll reach the word-renowned energy of Times Square. 

Spend your days shopping, sightseeing or exploring the various top-class eating spots. While you're out for the day, pick up a bottle of champagne for mesmerising sunsets on the terrace. It's an idyllic way to celebrate the beauty of your private haven.

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.

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

Give East Village living a whirl at this smart townhouse set within walking distance to the chilled-out cafes and vibey music venues of the Lower East Side. Set out across three floors –⁠ there’s plenty of space for you to all spill out here, and the dedicated desks are handy should you need a quiet place to work. With no private parking to speak of, you’re best off sticking to the subway – just a four-minute walk from your door. Or, if time is on your side, hit the streets – there's no better way to take in this happening city.

Single-Level Home

Just two blocks away from the gates of Central Park, this home is a true gem in NYC's hectic Midtown. It's the ideal spot to enjoy some downtime, whether you're in town to work, visiting friends and family, or simply exploring everything the city has to offer. You can't help but feel relaxed here, thanks to the crisp white colour scheme, tranquil artworks and modern furnishings – we love the big L-shaped sofa where you can put your feet up. And, with the dazzling lights of Times Square and Broadway less than a ten-minute walk away, you're right in the heart of the action. The public transport connections are excellent from here too, and those travelling for business will be pleased to know that a half-hour subway ride takes you to the financial district. At the end of a busy day, the city views are waiting for you back home – watch the buildings light up from the window as darkness falls and plan your next move.

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.

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.

Starlight Sky

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

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

In a little-trafficked (by Manhattan standards) corner of the Upper East Side, Heirloom provides you with a haven to retreat, away from the bustle normally associated with the city. That calm feeling has clearly influenced the interior design as well, with certain nods to Scandinavia, and nice variety of houseplants. The kitchen’s a draw too, with a good set of appliances (although no food is provided). It’s set over two floors, with a terrace split over two levels as well, so even if you decide to use the futon, it feels like it’s big enough.


Heirloom

Parking On Street

Situated in the heart of the desirable Upper East Side in Manhattan, you’ll be surrounded by an array of boutiques, restaurants and bars. You can have a stroll along its tree-lined streets filled with brownstone homes or visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. Housed in a well-maintained building, you’ll be glad to return to this modern apartment. If you don’t fancy eating out, you can create some home cooked food in the well-equipped kitchen. This place is ideal for family, friends or business colleagues looking for a fantastic location in the Big Apple.

Upper East Side

This cosy home is located in the heart of the Upper West Side, just a short walk from Central Park and the Hudson River. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited here, but the location and on-site amenities – which include a gym – more than make up for the smaller space. We think the kitchenette is best suited to light bites, as with no oven, you won’t be able to create grand culinary creations – but with an abundance of New York restaurants on your doorstep, dining out is a must.

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

New York's Midtown is a bustling kaleidoscope of sights and sounds, but this apartment is a peaceful haven where you can truly relax between adventures. Step through the front door, and you'll find pristine parquet flooring, chic furnishings and the occasional colourful artwork perfectly placed on the white walls. There's plenty to get excited about – think intimate dinners at the elegant table and invigorating workouts at the on-site gym – but the best part has to be the incredible balcony. This private space gives you a bird's eye view of the city, and is just as impressive at sunrise as it is when night falls. We don't blame you if you can't tear yourself away from these vistas, but sightseers are in for a treat – Central Park, Broadway and Times Square are all within a ten-minute walk. And, if you're travelling for business, you can arrive at the financial district in less than half an hour using the excellent public transport services.

If you’ve ever wondered how to get privacy in New York City, we’ve found the answer for you – fifty-two floors off the ground! And that’s exactly what you’ll get at Belle Vue. With floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping city views, this glossy home matches its slick cityscape. While the surrounding skyscrapers make for incredible impressions, the downside is that this area is mainly commercial and therefore not the most vibrant neighbourhood. If you’re okay with that, however, you’ll love that the building grants guests access to the private gym and pool. 

Belle Vue

Tucked away in the Upper East Side, this cosy apartment lends itself well to a big city stay. Space is limited, but for a work trip or a weekend getaway it's got a great location, and you can even bring a furry friend for a fee. The compact kitchen lets you rustle up snacks or small meals, while the surrounding restaurants and cafes offer everything from classic bagels and cronuts to Michelin-starred cuisine. In one direction you'll find Central Park, with the scenic East River in the other. To top it all off, nearby subway stations make commuting or sightseeing a breeze.

Dreams on the Upper East Side

The sheer white curtains, lush plant life, and bright decor of this fabulous home put you immediately at ease in this bustling and lively city. Situated on a quiet Chelsea block, it's just minutes away from the bars and galleries this arty neighbourhood is known for. Plus, you're a twelve-minute walk from the Flatiron and can arrive in the Meatpacking District within fifteen minutes. The nearest train station, 23rd Street, is just a three-minute walk away if you need to go further afield. This is a tiny, 300-square foot studio, so won't be for those needing to spread out. But it's quaint and cosy as can be for a solo traveller or romantic getaway – and with a location like this, we think you'll be doing more going out than staying in. 


Swoon

Situated on the Upper East Side, this apartment is an ideal base whether you’re in New York for business or leisure. Remote working comes easily, with a desk set up in one of the bedrooms, while the location means you’re just a short walk from some of the city’s iconic museums, such as the Met and the Guggenheim. Sure, it’s not the most spacious, and the bedrooms, in particular, are a bit of a squeeze, but you’ll find everything you need here and excellent transport links nearby. 

The Tourist

Why compromise a good night's rest when you come to the city that never sleeps? There's no need to in this quiet and calming Upper East Side duplex. With two floors of space for six of you to unwind at a fantastic value, you'll be content as can be during your stay. And there's even a balcony where you can watch the city pass by on pleasant evenings. Though the decor isn't particularly homey, it's been recently renovated making the bathroom and kitchen especially luxurious. 



Safe & Sound

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

Tucked away in the Upper East Side, this home is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller on a New York getaway. Sure, it’s not the biggest, but it has all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including a kitchenette perfect for rustling up light bites. Locally, hop on the Roosevelt Island Tram to explore across the East River, or take a stroll to Central Park to soak up some green space, less than twenty minutes away on foot. 

Upper East Side Essence

Piano

There are two things in this loft apartment in the Gramercy Park neighbourhood that you might not typically expect to see. The first is a baby grand piano (how did they get it up to the top storey is what we want to know), the second is the resident cat called Edith. Previous guests will attest to the fact that her presence is completely stress-free and even adds to the cosy factor when you're lounging about. This home has obviously been designed by somebody with an artistic outlook, as the walls are covered in prints and the shelves are jam-packed with books. Although we're guessing you didn't come to The Big Apple to just read. Go out the front door and you're on Park Avenue, right in the middle of Manhattan. Walk twenty minutes to your right and you'll reach the Chrysler Building, Ten minutes in the other direction will get you to the farmers' market at Union Square.
