This is an adorable studio-style apartment in a typical brownstone home in vibrant Harlem. Perfect for a solo traveller, a couple, or even a small family, it's a fabulous place to begin your NYC adventures.

The owners are a journalist and a cinematographer who have travelled the world, so they know a thing or two about what people want when they're away from home. All the modern conveniences are there, including in-apartment laundry facilities, two coffee makers, and cable TV with premium movie channels. But it also has charm aplenty  – we love all the original paintings and the ornamental fireplaces which look wonderful against the exposed brick. And, your hosts will even provide a welcome pack for your arrival including snacks and your first breakfast, so all you need to do is kick back and relax on arrival. 

From here, you can hop between Harlem's live music bars, and dine on delicious food at local dining spots. Iconic Central Park is twenty-five minutes away on foot, and if you want to travel further afield just hop on the subway at 135th Street station – it's only a seven-minute walk from your front door.

This two-floor apartment between Yorkville and the Upper East Side is a real find. Bright and modern, we think it's perfect for remote workers and families seeking a comfortable base. Not only will you have a private garden and grill to enjoy barbecue dinners, but you’ll also have shared access to amenities such as a gym, bike storage, and a pet spa for furry companions. The gym isn’t the most luxurious, but it’s great for keeping up with your workout routine. From here, you're not far from the subway, though The Guggenheim and The Met are easily walkable if you fancy a stroll.

This is a stylishly decorated apartment, located on the cusp of the Upper East Side and East Harlem. As it's a studio, it's not a large home, but it's been thoughtfully designed with some great views over the NYC cityscape. The comfy sofa, chic dining area and smart kitchen all ensure a comfortable stay in the city – but it's the amenities that really make this home stand out. You'll have access to the building's shared roof terrace, pool, and gym, so whether you feel like hanging out or working out, you're covered. The location is excellent too – an eight-minute walk will bring you to the gates of Central Park, and you can walk to Museum Mile's cultural institutions in around ten minutes.

It will come as no surprise that your host is Parisian – the interiors here have a distinctively French feel. This sophisticated and classical restraint is paired boldly with bright graffiti artwork, a look that is just as diverse as its location. The apartment (up eighty-two steps in a building with no lift) sits at the top of a beautiful, century-old brownstone in the ever-vibrant neighbourhood of Harlem. This part of Manhattan has become hugely popular in recent years, owing to its rich history, diverse culture, outstanding food, and energetic nightlife.

Zebu Nation

A three-floor Brownstone, two blocks from Central Park, with your very own private terrace...need we say more? Families or groups of friends can truly sprawl out and unwind in this meticulously decorated home, but we have a feeling you'll want to spend more time on the beautiful, private pergola instead. While you're not bang in the centre of the city's busiest neighbourhoods, this townhouse is on a quiet street, just a short walk away from the park, boutique shops and cafes. 

Juliet's Pergola

Mosquito Net

This is a cosy and well-appointed studio apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved. And the host has pepped it up a bit with antique flea market finds, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Your immediate neighbourhood is tree-lined and quiet and a bit of a way from the city's epicentre - but it's a true delight should you want a peaceful retreat in NYC.

This garden level apartment is a perfect bolthole for a couple or individual wanting a practical base in Harlem. It's part of a beautiful, historic brownstone building, and opens up onto a beautiful, jungly garden, which is shared with the tenants upstairs. It might not be the most spacious or high-end of our New York homes, but it's certainly a comfortable base and has some great art on the walls.

Tucked away in a residential building in the heart of vibrant East Harlem, this apartment makes for a modern and comfortable base. Though it's worth noting two flights of stairs lay between you and relaxation, the climb up is worth it. Well-kept with plenty of space for five to move around, there's a small workspace for anyone needing to catch up on an email or two. But remember to kick back, you're on holiday, after all. Visit the Museum of the City of New York and Central Park – you can even walk if you're not in a rush. Public transport is also available nearby to get you to Times Square or the Statue of Liberty. 

Harlem Whisper

Originally built in the 1800's, this Harlem apartment has been beautifully preserved, showcasing its original tiled fireplace, vintage lighting fixtures, and claw foot tub. The host has creatively elevated this vintage vibe with an antique dentist's chair and Tin Tin statuettes. Your immediate neighbourhood is tree lined and quiet and a bit of a ways from the city's epicentre - but it's a true delight should you want a peaceful retreat in NYC.

This Harlem home is five levels of unabashed colour and acute attention to detail. From the unique light fixtures to the original artwork and the Gaggenau appliances to the vibrant garden, every inch of space has been expertly styled. And we’re not the only ones to think so, the home was featured in an edition of design magazine, Curbed NY. The second floor leads to a quaint terrace with string lights—the perfect setting for intimate evenings sharing a bottle of wine. And you’ll have no problem waking up energised as the sun pours in through the bedroom windows, though you’ll have to battle the temptation to stay in the luxurious Coyuchi linens for just five more minutes. While you will relish the tranquillity of your quiet residential street, a rarity in New York City, there are plenty of dining options and swanky jazz clubs nearby. Plus, Central Park and 125 Street station, with its direct trains into the heart of Manhattan, are only a ten-minute walk away.

Starburst

This is a cosy and well-appointed apartment situated in the historic neighbourhood of Harlem. Originally built in the 1800s, many of its original features have been preserved including its wood floors, decorative fireplace, and vintage bathroom. And the host has pepped it up a bit with old baseball pendants and framed antique advertisements, appropriately jiving with the Brownstone's vintage vibe. Keep in mind this is a garden level apartment, so you won't have a ton of natural light - but you will have a private and shared terrace where you can soak up some sun.

Private Washing Machine

Private Dryer

You’ll find this contemporary apartment in the heart of the Upper East Side – and with easy access to a selection of subway lines, hopping across the city is a breeze. With high-speed wi-fi and a desk in the second bedroom, remote working is easy for those in the city on business. But the star of the show here is the outdoor space – a rarity in NYC. After a busy day exploring the Big Apple, the private balcony is the perfect place to unwind. Craving some greenery? Take a stroll through nearby Central Park, instead. 

Manhattan Heart

Nestled in the Upper East Side, this cosy apartment is an ideal base for tourists and business travellers alike – and for those in the city for work, the desk is just the ticket for catching up on emails outside the office. The bedroom is a bit of a squeeze, but it has everything you need for a comfortable night’s sleep. And in terms of location, you’re onto a winner. When you fancy a fresh air stroll or jog, Central Park is just a short distance away, while nearby Lexington Avenue is ready to meet your retail therapy needs. 

Urban Sophistication

This calming home-from-home is close enough to nip into the city on the subway, yet sits in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood in Astoria, Queens. Surrounded by leafy green parks, independent coffee shops, and a host of world cuisine eateries, it's the perfect spot for those looking to see the sights of NYC with a comforting place to call home outside of the concrete jungle. Inside, from the moment you enter the home, there's a real sense of space, with an open concept floor plan and clever design. Natural light floods into the living room through the windows and neutral tones of grey, white and moody blue create a soothing space to relax in after a day wandering the city. The sleek white kitchen comes with an equally elegant dining room that's perfect for big American breakfasts while the dedicated work desk accommodates those in town on business. Whether you're strolling through the local green spots, living it up in the city, or in-and-out with work, this charming apartment is a rare pocket of calm withdrawn from the hustle and bustle.

Building Bridges

This home is an oasis of calm within the hectic merry-go-round that is Manhattan's Midtown. As soon as you step foot into this apartment, an aura of tranquility will wash over you, thanks to the neutral colour palette, parquet flooring and tasteful artworks. You'll feel right at home flopping down on the L-shaped sofa or cooking up a feast in the kitchen between adventures. The gates of Central Park are just two blocks away from the front door and, in the other direction, you'll find the theatres of Broadway and Times Square. There are excellent transport links to help you navigate the city, and those travelling on business will be happy to know that the subway can whizz you to the financial district in less than half an hour. At the end of the day, you can hit the shared gym for an invigorating workout, or watch the city light up from your window – the views are pretty special. 

Crisp White

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 New York apartment made it into our collection for its desirable location in the Upper East Side. You’ll have the Guggenheim close by for culture and Madison Avenue for shopping, as well as an array of eateries serving everything from classic New York bagels to Michelin-starred cuisine. Though compact, the home has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, a full-size sofa, and a dining table. And while there may not be any outdoor space here, the world-famous Central Park is within walking distance if you want to swap the city streets for open space.

Eastside Elegance

Espresso Machine

This chic apartment is on the fourth floor of a beautiful townhouse in the affluent neighbourhood of the Upper East Side, just a few minutes walk away from Central Park. Striking artwork adorns the walls inside, adding a pop of character to plush furnishings and light-filled rooms. The living room feels lived in like a comfy blanket with its distressed rug and board games for quiet evenings in. Though you’re in the heart of New York here, so you’d probably rather head out for a carriage ride through Central Park or to the trendy bars and fine restaurants of the Upper East Side. If you want to explore further, it’s just 2-3 stops on the subway to Times Square and all that Midtown has to offer.

The Wizards of Central Park

Situated on a tree-lined street in the affluent Upper East Side district of Lenox Hill. You'll find an array of designer stores along Madison Avenue, while for culture lovers, there's The Frick Collection with its European paintings and decorative art, as well as the Park Avenue Armory. On returning to this home, there are four fairly steep stairs to the apartment's entry floor, and the abode is set over three floors in total. Once you've climbed the heights, though, you're rewarded with a private outdoor balcony and roof terrace with views over the city (accessed from two of the bedrooms). There's plenty of room for entertaining, and if you're here on business, there's are desks and IT equipment too.

A Fine Day to Dance

Desk / Workplace

You’ll have no trouble settling into stylish Upper East Side living in this bright, modern studio that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 
 
Though compact, it packs a decorative punch with its mustard yellow sofa, boho ornaments and vintage-inspired rug. We love the lightness of touch that’s been given to its aesthetic, made all the more handsome with wood floors and tall windows that allow plenty of natural light to shine through. 
 
Make yourself at home at the breakfast bar each morning over locally bought coffee and bagels or catch up on any work you may have at the handy desk space opposite the plush bed. With a rainfall shower to get your days off to a relaxing start as well, you’ll be all set for a day of adventure in the Big Apple.
 
Take a stroll through nearby Carl Schurz Park (a three-minute walk) or amble over to Central Park (an eighteen-minute walk) where its many sights – including The Metropolitan Museum of Art – will keep you occupied all day long. You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the Guggenheim Museum, while Midtown and the Empire State Building are little more than a twenty-minute Subway ride away. 


Studio Vision

You’ll find this apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, surrounded by entertainment venues, cafes, bars and restaurants – so, it’s safe to say you won’t ever be short of things to do here. The home itself is well-equipped, and while it can sleep four guests with two on the sofa bed, we think it's better suited to families who don’t mind sharing one space. The cherry on the cake for us? The outdoor space. A rarity in New York, and just the spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. 

One Day in New York

Whether you're in town on business or here to experience the hustle and bustle of The Big Apple, this Upper East Side apartment is the place to be if browsing museums, dining at gourmet restaurants and boutique shopping are all on your to-do list. When you're not strolling through Central Park – ten minutes on foot – or visiting the galleries on Museum Mile – the Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim are all within walking distance – you can relax and unwind on the plush velvet sofa in the cosy living room. The bedroom is bright and super stylish, and we love the high ceilings in each room – they're thirteen feet tall and give this home a great sense of space. Though the kitchen is compact, it's still got everything you need to whip up light breakfasts and lunches, and there's even a desk if you need to catch up on work emails. We think it's perfect for a couple or solo travellers wanting to stay in one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Bluer Than Velvet

Immerse yourself in the excitement of Manhattan from this sleek apartment on the Upper West Side. You'll find Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and Broadway within easy walking distance. Inside, it's a modern space with laptop-friendly desk space, making it suitable for longer business trips (though street noise should be expected). The kitchenette is very small, so we recommend eating out. You'll be able to check yourself in, bring along a furry friend, and work out in the shared gym. But the best part about this pad is the little balcony, offering a private spot for you to soak up the big city buzz. 

Manhattan Medley

It may be small in size, but this Upper East Side apartment is a true gem. You'll love putting your feet up and relaxing in this chic space after a busy day at work or play – and it's been recently refurbished to an impeccable standard. It makes excellent use of all the space on offer – not many studios can offer a breakfast nook, stylish sofa and a desk for working remotely. Outside on the Upper East Side, you'll find all the delights of this desirable neighbourhood are right at your fingertips. A ten-minute stroll will take you to the gates of Central Park, where you can immerse yourself in the greenery, and the plethora of eateries on the way there mean that you'll never go hungry. There are also plenty of opportunities for some serious retail therapy at nearby Madison Avenue's luxury boutiques and, thanks to the excellent public transport links, those travelling on business can arrive downtown in just half an hour. 

Acid Wash

Doorman

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.

With the home being where it is, you'll find yourself within walking distance of the world-famous Central Park, hip cafes, and other must-see landmarks. With a big tick on location, there's also a communal swimming pool, fitness room and sauna to win you over. Ideal for two couples or a small family coming to explore all the Big Apple has to offer.  

The Manhattan

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

This sleek apartment combines style and comfort with a desirable location on the Upper East Side. Ideal for a solo traveller working in the city, you'll find a dedicated study desk area in the bedroom. Alternatively, the modern living space and sociable breakfast bar make it a great fit for a couple looking for a convenient base to return to. There's a sofa bed for a third person, although we think the apartment is best suited for two people. It's also worth noting that the kitchenette is very small. That said, you'll find plenty of casual eateries and restaurants on your doorstep. 

Manhattan By Night

With its tree-lined streets and historic brownstones, it's no wonder the Upper East Side has a reputation for being one of the most prestigious postcodes in NYC. A stay in this stylish apartment will have you living like one of Manhattan's elite – grab a coffee and browse the art galleries on Museum Mile (including the Metropolitan Museum of Art ten minutes away), enjoy an afternoon stroll in Central Park and spend evenings dining at some truly excellent upmarket eateries. If a relaxed evening at home is more your style, the cushy white leather couch has you covered. It's the perfect spot to rest weary legs after a day of sightseeing, and the well-stocked kitchen is ideal for rustling up homecooked meals. The space is bright and roomy, and the design minimal yet sophisticated – think glossy parquet floors in the living area, sleek marble in the bathroom and shiny geometric backsplash in the kitchen. There's also a communal gym in the building and a 24-hour doorman, so you'll be well looked after here, day or night.

The Priestly

This family-size home is only a short walk from Central Park, with many of NYC's other major landmarks within easy reach. Located on the Upper East Side, you'll be just a few steps away from historical buildings, trendy eateries and high-end boutiques. The apartment itself offers everything needed for a comfortable stay, with three uncluttered bedrooms and a study desk area – perfect for those working remotely. The kitchen is fully-equipped for preparing homemade meals, though there's only enough dining space for four guests. That said, there are countless dining options on your doorstep.
